A Google search for "bash tutorial pipe redirect" [w/o quotes] gave
results for "normal" users. I have and odd use case. I had assumed
bash as shell but am open to using another shell if it is more
appropriate.
The following, though using bash syntax, should be considered
*PSEUDO* code.
# stdout and stderr will be a MATE terminal window

Others have answered many things. Let me pick a nit:
while true
do
echo "Insert medium, press Enter key (or Ctrl+C to end)"
read dummyvar
The builtin 'read' has an option -p (like 'prompt') which makes
this a bit nicer:
read -p "Insert medium, press Enter key (or Ctrl+C to end) " dummyvar
