Nope, these quotes make no difference, they are too late.

The problem is in the "for " line, it cannot differentiate spaces _in_
filenames and _between_ filenames. Look:

$ touch "this is a long file name.ape"
$ ~/bin/ape2mp3.sh
+ find . -iname '*.ape'
+ echo ./this
./this
+ echo is
is
+ echo a
a
+ echo long
long
+ echo file
file
+ echo name.ape
name.ape
$ 

I'm sure the solution exists, it must be a very common case.
