We'll try with mp3 files first.

Try the following find command and see if it returns all the mp3 files that should be inspected:

Code:
find -iname '*.mp3'

Then try the following command and check if it returns all the mp3 files with empty Title tag correctly:

Code:
find -iname '*.mp3' -exec bash -c "
  id3 -Rl \"\$@\" | 
    awk -F: '
      /Title:[ \t]*\012/{
        print \$2
        }' IGNORECASE=1 RS=

The first command finds the mp3 files. The second command(after adding
Code:
" {} +

of course) gives no result. There should be found 4 or 5 for different reasons.

AUDIOCFG(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       AUDIOCFG(1)

NAME
audiocfg -- configure default audio device SYNOPSIS
audiocfg list audiocfg default index audiocfg test index DESCRIPTION
The audiocfg utility helps maintaining the audio and mixer device symlinks. Run with ``list'', it lists the available audio devices and shows the currently selected default audio device. Called with ``test'', it plays a tone of 2 seconds for each channel of the device with the index index. Called with ``default'', it sets the default audio device to the one with the index index. audiocfg needs access to /dev/drvctl and write access to /dev (when used with ``default'') to work. FILES
/dev/audio Symlink to default audio device. /dev/audio[0-9]* Available audio devices. /dev/audioctl Symlink to default audio control device. /dev/audioctl[0-9]* Available audio control devices. /dev/drvctl Used for finding the corresponding audio driver to an audio device. /dev/mixer Symlink to default mixer device. /dev/mixer[0-9]* Available mixer devices. /dev/sound Symlink to default audio device (for the difference to /dev/audio, see audio(4)). /dev/sound[0-9]* Available audio devices.
