The find line needs some parenthesis. I have some flac files, so I
changed it to this:
find ${1:-.} . -type f \( -name \*.mp3 -o -name \*.ogg -o -name
\*.flac \) -exec dirname {} \; |
And, for anyone else using flac files, you can add this to the case
statement (you will need 'flac' installed, in ubuntu at least, to get
metaflac):
*.flac)
info=$(metaflac --list "$f")
artist=`echo "$info" | grep -i 'artist=' | cut -d= -f2`
album=`echo "$info" | grep -i 'album=' | cut -d= -f2`
