That won't work if the filenames contain spaces (since the shell will
split ls's output on spaces), and it's needlessly inefficient. It's
better to say:
for i in *.mp3; do
or if you really do want to use the output of a command, then:
find . -name '*.mp3' | while read i; do
(Not supporting spaces in filenames in the modern world is silly --
particularly for music files! Newlines I'm less concerned about...)
Well, I stand corrected I've never used that while syntax before. It
looks useful. thanks.
