A couple of things have worked for me when file names try to get tangled up with command line options: 1. Use a full or partial path name for the file, such as ./<filename> or /home/mydir/subdir/filename. 2. Use wildcard characters to get at the file, such as in *partial_filename.mp3. 3. Put the file name in quotes, as in "filename" or 'filename'. HTH, and have a _great_ weekend!
