Easily solved, just change any instances of mp3/MP3 to flac or FLAC depending
on the file extensions you have.

That's fair enough, however this script does not remove the spaces completely,
it just replaces them with underscores, i.e. "Symphony No2 in D Major.flac"
becomes symphony_no2_in_d_major.flac

Probably a good option, Tony and others have got a few good ideas that are far
more simple!
