Thanks! I think this is almost what I need. I'm a little confused about what "while read d" does (I'm very much a bash noob who uses Google extensively to program). I'm hoping to add some lines to my code which will look for any m3u files in my $PlaylistDIR (the ones that my script just created - currently set to /mnt/user/Music/_Playlists/), and sort them all one by one using your code.

How would your code need to be altered for that to work?
