This funny board software didn't even know how to quote the output, so I take that as additional indication that the problem is this: you have DOS carriage returns in the output.
I'm running linux, why would I have DOS carriage returns?

I really wonder about your use of less inside a script. Does it bring some benefit over simply reading the file?
With all due respect, you should probably read up on sed scripting. grep | sed is almost always redundant, since sed is basically a grep on stereoids.
yea, except I don't really know how to use sed outside of how I've used it.

... assuming that your repeated sed invocations were meant to remove any PERFORMER tag, remove any leading whitespace before it, and trim the double quotes around the value (and throwing in the removal of any DOS carriage returns as a bonus). Probably the first grep could also be avoided if you familiarize yourself with sed some more, but this is how far I get without even reading the manual page. (Granted, the real magic is in being able to write a proper regular expression for any given problem.) ... That's a tab and a space between the square brackets, by the way.
repeated sed was indeed to do basically all that.
yea, the first grep could probably be avoided, but I don't know how exactly.
still doesn't explain why my desired output is not working though.
of course, any help with sed would be appreciated. I've tried reading some of the online FAQ's, etc. but they all seem to assume some knowledge which I am not privy to...
