Thanks. It seemed I needed that for ogg files. I added support for ogg and it works.
I renamed the mp3 and flac variables to id3 and vorbis, which are the names of the tag format. And I messed up...

In the latest version there is only an extra function call, so it's no big deal anymore. Before that it was a lot of extra code. I don't know yet if that will be a problem with the other formats yet....

Hmm isn't it possible to include echo 'start' and echo 'end' in the exec part of find? If you can process the current data, the part after 'END' can be removed.

Maybe even something like echo...

Thanks for the explanation.
So it's just a complex way to say 'f=1-f'. :)
Or if it's possible in awk: even shorter f=!f

Aha, but why not just process the current data?

Still running fine here.

I can't find anything not working perfectly on this one.
It's just working fine.

Yes ,this works. Thanks. Let's see if I understand what's happening. (Hmm.. there still is a little hickup. See the bottom for that.)

find . -type f -name '*.[Mm][Pp]3' -exec id3 -Rl {} + -o \
...

Wow. All that in just one tiny line of commands. :)

This one does work perfect.
Nice output. Works perfectly on my test dir, so I did a run on my collection... I discovered I've really a lot of...

Yes. Indeed. If there is no id tag in the mp3 all properties except 'Track' are in the output and filled with spaces. The property 'Track' isn't in the output at all.
But if there is an id3 tag, but...

This doesn't work yet. This is the output of a mp3 that should be detected, since the tracknumber isn't filled:

$ id3 -Rl alex\ roeka\ -\ 1999\ \ -\ wildernis/04\ -\ Alex\ Roeka\ -\ Help\ me\,\...

Yes that works. But adding the track doesn't work yet because if the tracknumber is empty track isn't in the output. But it detects and displays the right files now.

Oh.. I've gawk installed. I even get the gawk manpage if I do 'man awk' :)

I find track 01 and 07....

Well, this is a learning fase for me. I just want to see if it's possible. It's eyeopening to work with streams. It's powerful and I want to get it. Playing with this helps.

So I played. And...

I tested with adding tee after the id3 call and got the output from all mp3 files. So far so good. My guess: it's in the awk part.

The first command finds the mp3 files. The second command(after adding " {} + of course) gives no result. There should be found 4 or 5 for different reasons.

Strange. I just copy-pasted your line into the terminal. No error message. No output at all.
The first line you send found the files with 'track' or 'unknown' in it but returned the wrong lines....

Wow, that is an educating command for me. :eek:
I use Ubuntu 10.10 and this doesn't give an error, but it doesn't work properly either.

First it found nothing in my test directory, which contains...

I've quite a collection audio files, mostly flac. In Rythmbox there are a files with no tags filled or filled with describing names as Track 01. I can look for properties to see which file it is and...

Oh, I'm sorry. Indeed, actually it works very well. I thought I knew about '&" and thought it only executed the first following command. So I didn't test it. But it seems I was terribly mistaken. I'm...

Well as I said.. it's a simple example.. actually this is in the middle of a process. And a lot of intructions follow. I can't use this trick. The script must be able to run until the end. And then...

What I'm looking for is best explained with a little example.

#!/bin/bash
gedit
echo "I need this message to appear while gedit is still running, but it appears only then when I close gedit."...
