Matt >>> Wow! That's a several light years away from where my understanding is right now! And there are a couple of issues that might require some editing of this bash script: (a) Most of my music consists of .flac files (the script seems to work with .mp3 files - sorry I didn't make this clear earlier) (b) For various reasons (to do with displaying files names, and having a lot of very long and descriptive ones for movements in classical music) I'd prefer to keep the spaces if possible. Would it be worth my pursuing a solution that substitutes escaped spaces for spaces on the fly in the output from 'find'? (I don't know enough to know whether that's even worth looking into.) Many thanks for your time and trouble. Best wishes -- Diana -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
