This is why I might cut the first 64 digits, because it looks a bit too nasty with the sha256sum, imagine sha512sum.

Code:
f888084c9ee5af98bb46df1c059b8cc2bcc4d9c43691e139f5bce44c64926e3a  ./drum/soundz4/GLASS CAVES – Out Of Control.mp3

as always learning

@Aia for heavens sake, sed coming up......yeah, I will train this....thanks, I will report later.

harsh.....

@Aia The quadcore works a lot with the xargs -0 version right now. I just started to read the first chapter of 63 for sed, so sorry, that this is one of the commands I hoped to avoid until now. First try results in one single file, the destination.mp3 in this case. hm....

@Don Cragun
one directory, 252 subdirectories, nearly 5000 tunes, different versions, kbps, length, put them in one folder.
My script from last year, well lets call it a snippet of a script, was hopping from one directory as the outset to move (cp) to destination. Then I took the destination to hop to the third new directory and so on. Surely not a hundred times, but it got a result of 30GB for snippets of tunes, one second of hihat, 3 seconds of openhihat, all together 26k files, or items. Therefore I used this construction

Code:
find /home/origin -type f -exec sha256sum {} \; | sort -k 64 >  /tmp/runner;txt | cp -nr /home/origin /home/destination && cat  -n /tmp/runner.txt | cut -d " " -f1; exit 0;

and guess what, it worked.

And I am aware, that the real 19 inch server rack is not sorted like this, they would put any file listed in alphabetical order, for each letter one drive, may even for different formats (.jpeg or .png) different mirrors. It is just to have it in one directory and later on on a pluggable drive.

@Aia It stopped after 575 songs, unable to call stat for "-" (no underliner), could not find directory. Running now version two, with sed. That goes well as root, I'll try it as well as user. Resulting in 4429 tunes, 22 GB. Orignally it was 22.9 GB. Now I could work with diff or midnight commander.

pyntor-selfrun(1)						      Pyntor							 pyntor-selfrun(1)

NAME

       pyntor-selfrun - creation of self-extracting presentation archives

SYNOPSIS

       pyntor-selfrun [OPTIONS] presentation-archive|presentation-directory

DESCRIPTION

       Pyntor  is a presentation tool which can display slides and effects of various formats.	The tool pyntor-selfrun allows one to create self-
       extracting archives containing both the presentation and Pyntor itself, so that it can be run on  computers  where  Pyntor  itself  is  not
       installed.  It also ensures independence of the corresponding Pyntor version, as future changes of the application do not affect the previ-
       ously created presentations.  The way pyntor-selfrun works is that it takes the presentation-archive  in  question,  packed  as	a  tarball
       (which  might be named *.pyntor), and the release tarball of Pyntor which must be present somewhere. Using a template file, it then creates
       the self-running and self-extracting script for distribution.

       In case the presentation-archive does not exist yet, pyntor-selfrun can create it automatically from a presentation-directory. This is use-
       ful even when not creating self-extracting archives, see the -a option.

OPTIONS

       -t, --template=templatefile
	      Uses  a  template  different  from  that one which is shipped with Pyntor and used by default. The template is a script in Python or
	      another scripting language, which contains the variables %PYNTOR% and %ARCHIVE% which are replaced with the base64-encoded  contents
	      of the two files given as arguments to pyntor-selfrun.  This option is not recommended for most cases.

       -a, --archive
	      Creates a pyntor presentation-archive from a directory which contains a script file, local data files and optionally some local com-
	      ponents.	This is a convenience operation, since presentation archives are just tarballs, but in the future  some  checks  might	be
	      done here.

       -r, --release=sourcetarball
	      Specifies  where	to find Pyntor itself to include it into the self-extracting archive. The source tarball should be a released pyn-
	      tor-*.tar.gz file.

       -h, --help
	      Displays a summary of all available command line options.

BUGS

       In a future version, pyntor-selfrun should allow to create *.pyntor archives automatically by examining a script file, including only those
       files of Pyntor which it really needs.
