mp3 tag/rename based on creation (last modified date)
Arg, I'm trying to figure out how to create a album tag based on the last modified date stamp for files which don't have a corresponding .talk file.
IE. 2009 12 10 - Talk Radio.mp3 is how I want them structured, they should all have a corresponding .talk file so my mp3 player can speak the name ie 2009 12 10 - Talk Radio.mp3.talk.
Any file with a .talk file should be skipped because its already been processed manually by me. Here is what I've got in my script so far...

Code:
#!/bin/bash
for f in *.mp3
do
        # if .talk backup file exists, read next file
        if [ -f ${f}.talk ]
        then
                echo "Skiping $f file..."
                continue  # read next file
        fi
        # no talk file exists
        DATE=`stat -c "%y" $f | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/-/ /g'`
        id3v2 -A "$DATE" "$f"
        mp3rename $f
done

for f in *.mp3
do
        # if .talk backup file exists, read next file
        if [ -f ${f}.talk ]
        then
                echo "Skiping $f file..."
                continue  # read next file
        fi
        # no talk file exists
        echo $f > temp.tmp
        text2wav temp.tmp -o temp.wav
        rbspeexenc temp.wav $f.talk
done

ID3_GET_TAG(3)								 1							    ID3_GET_TAG(3)

id3_get_tag - Get all information stored in an ID3 tag

SYNOPSIS

       array id3_get_tag (string  $filename, [int  $version = ID3_BEST])

DESCRIPTION

       id3_get_tag(3) is used to get all information stored in the id3 tag of the specified file.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- The path to the MP3 file  Instead of a filename you may also pass a valid stream resource

	      o $version
		-  Allows you to specify the version of the tag as MP3 files may contain both, version 1.x and version 2.x tags  Since version 0.2
		id3_get_tag(3) also supports ID3 tags of version 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4. To extract information from these tags, pass one  of  the  con-
		stants ID3_V2_2, ID3_V2_3 or ID3_V2_4 as the second parameter. ID3 v2.x tags can contain a lot more information about the MP3 file
		than ID3 v1.x tags.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an associative array with various keys like: title, artist, ..

	The key genre will contain an integer between 0 and 147. You may use id3_get_genre_name(3) to convert it to a human readable string.
