Hi,
I have RedHat Linux installed on on a crappy old laptop that I have hooked up to an amplifier, and I want to use it to play mp3 files that it finds in my ‘/mnt/music’ directory (it has lots of sub directories for each band).
What i want, is a script that will play mp3 files using a wildcard.
I am using ‘plaympeg’ to listen to the songs, and I have had a go at creating a script to do what i want ……
for file in `find /mnt/music -name “*REM*.mp3” -print2`
do
plaympeg “$file”
done
….. however, the script seems to have problems with songs with spaces in eg
REM – Orange Crush.mp3 fails as it says it can’t play “Orange” then can’t play “Crush” etc etc.
Can you see what I am doing wrong?
Is there a smarter way to do this? (I am sure there is!)
Thanks,
Ben.
