several methods:

with monkey's audio frontend
a. Get lame.exe from here.
b. copy lame.exe to the monkey's audio folder.
c. drop your ape files to the frontend
d. select compress -> external encoder -> MP3

with foobar2000:
a. install foobar. Get it here.
b. Get foo_input_monkey from here. Extract the zip file, copy the foo_input_monkey dll to the "components" folder in your foobar directory.
c. Get lame.exe from here. Copy the lame.exe file to your foobar2000 directory
d. Now open up foobar. Drop all the APE files you want to convert. Select them, right click them and select "Convert to" -> "convert to same directory". Choose MP3 as your encoder, choose your desired quality setting.

with Dbpoweramp:
a. Get dbpoweramp from here.
b. Install the monkey's audio codec for dbpoweramp from here.
c. In windows explorer, select your ape files, right click them, click convert to. Choose MP3, select your settings.

I choose the "Dbpoweramp" method. After converting its work. TQ.
btw, how if I want to convert it into a few mp3 file?
Example like if I open the APE wit MagisISO, there is 7 audio files in it.
But using the "Dbpoweramp" method there is onli 1 mp3 file tat is being converted. How if I wanna convert it into 7 audio files shown by using MagicISO ?

use CUE Splitter

Dear Sifu,
I got problem when want to convert ape into mp3....the error msg is as below:
"Error decoding source file (Unsupported format or corrupted file) at 4:07.339 "

Some ape can convert but some failed with the same error.....anyone can guide me? Thx

yea, tat can split ape into several file n then convert.

Is there any software that able to convert straight from Ape (few files inside) into Mp3?

cue splitter is program that spit cuesheet that most ripped into 1 cd whole track (cue is store some data of the original cd track, gaps, etc)....

Like fariz said, u can use foobar toconvert straight .ape lossless to lame mp3 with simple....

I searched google for a solution of this problem and eventually bumped into Audio Converter Studio. It's a decent software capable of converting almost every audio format and does it in the batch mode. It might help you guys too.
