Bug

Hi and thanks for helping me out.

DO I need to add

#!/bin/bash

at the beginning of this script to work and also, does it work recuresively?

My situtation is such that I have directory structure

/home/music/ARTIST_NAME/ALBUM/

and there are about 1800 folders (artists) in the music folder.

Again, my gratitude for the help

NAME
lastfmsubmitd, lastfmsubmit - Last.fm submission daemon and helper SYNOPSIS
lastfmsubmitd [--debug] [--no-daemon] [--no-network] [--help] lastfmsubmit [--encoding ENC] [--artist ARTIST] [--title TITLE] [--length LEN] [--time STAMP] [--album ALBUM] [--mbid TRACKID] [--stdout] [--debug] [--quiet] [--help] DESCRIPTION
lastfmsubmitd uses the Last.fm protocol to send information about played songs to a submission server. If network connectivity is lost or lastfmsubmitd is shut down, any unsubmitted songs will be saved to disk. Song information is collected from one or more music players via a spool directory. All songs are submitted with the account information provided in the configuration file. lastfmsubmit is a helper program meant to be invoked by music players. It handles setting the timestamp, encoding data as UTF-8, serializ- ing it to send to lastfmsubmitd, and locking. OPTIONS
-d, --debug Log debugging information. -n, --no-daemon Do not fork into the background. -n, --no-network Do not attempt to connect to a server, but process submissions anyway. -e, --encoding Use a different encoding than the locale's default to read song information. -q, --quiet Silence any logging information that would normally be printed to stderr. -a, --artist Specify the song's artist name. Artist, title, and length are required for lastfmsubmitd to actually submit the song. -t, --title Specify the song's title. -l, --length Specify the song's length. -i, --time Specify the time at which the song was played, formatted in UTC as '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' (see strptime(3)). If not given, defaults to the current time. -b, --album Specify the song's album name. -m, --mbid Specify the song's MusicBrainz track ID. -o, --stdout Write the serialized song information to standard output instead of the spool. FILES
/var/spool/lastfm The directory where music players should write song information to be submitted by lastfmsubmitd. /etc/lastfmsubmitd.conf The configuration file. AUTHOR
