Hi,
I had the same problem until I changed this line to this
find ${1:-.} . -type f -name \*.mp3 -exec dirname {} \; |
I don't have non mp3s so I was ok.
I did notice that when I couldn't find a file for the ID3 tag it
created a zero length file called folder_large.jpg. So I added this
if [ -f "$d"/folder_large.jpg ]; then
if [ -s "$d"/folder_large.jpg ]; then
echo "$d -- already has album art"
continue
fi
fi
Not the second nesting. I don't think it helped. The zero length
files are still zero length so I think there was no amazon match.
Hope this helps,
Jon
