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!!

qmp3join

qmp3join(1)							 quelcom man pages						       qmp3join(1)

NAME

       qmp3join - join mp3 files

SYNOPSIS

       qmp3join [option]... file1 file2...

DESCRIPTION

       qmp3join reads a list of mp3 files and joins them in one mp3 file in the specified order. some conditions must be met for the parameters of
       each of the files (see NOTES section).

OPTIONS

       -f, --force
	      force join bypassing bit rate checks. by default, to join two files they must be both vbr (have variable bit rate) or have the  same
	      bit rate. using this option you can skip this check.

       -h, --help
	      show a brief help and exit.

       -o <outfile>, --output=<outfile>
	      outfile  is  the name of the file where all the frames will be copied. if this option is not used, the frames from the second to the
	      last file of the list will be appended to file1.

       -v, --verbose
	      show which operations are done.

       -V, --version
	      show version and exit.

NOTES

       (all) the following parameters are required to be common for two mp3 files to be joined: [fill this!!!]. also, about the bit  rate  parame-
       ter,  both  mp3	must  have  the same value or (both) must have a variable bit rate. this restriction would be by-passable with the --force
       flag.

       before joining, all the streams are tested for validity. this is a time consuming operation.

       in any case, qmp3join can be viewed like a better but restrictive cat for mp3 files, due to the mp3 file format characteristics.

BUGS

       tests have been done only with mpeg version 1 layer iii streams, though it may (or not) work with other versions/layers.
