Help with rysnc and find with date variable
I want to have a script to create directory labled with the date, convert a load of flac files to mp3 and then find and rysnc the newly created mp3 file to the dated directory. Here's what I have done so far but the rsync command doesn't work:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#set date variable as now
DATE=`/bin/date +%y%m%d`

#create dir for DATE
mkdir /media/raid10/music/newmp3/$DATE

#run flac2mp3
/media/raid10/music/flac2mp3_wPics/flac2mp3_wPics/flac2mp3.pl /media/raid10/music/flac /media/raid10/music/mp3

#copy new mp3 to DATE directory
rsync `find /media/raid10/music/mp3 -type -f -iname "*.mp3" -atime $DATE` /media/raid10/music/newmp3/$DATE

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  ENVIRONMENT
      dr_unsort honors strings DR_PLAYLISTS (mpd's playlist directory) and DR_UNSORT (unsort pathname).
