Hi

Thanks for your quick reply - I understand that you probably don't want to
provide support for this script, but thanks for posting it up anyway!

I managed to get the script running - not exactly sure it didn't work before
but it may have been a permissions problem. The id3 command is throwing out a
fair few errors when I turn the debug on but not to worry. I'm busy over the
next week with other stuff but I might have a go rewriting your script next
week using the original code as a basis for mine but removing certain bits I
don't need (I think my MP3 player deals with ID2.4 tags ok) - it's good
practice for my bash coding skills! You've done all the hard work already so it
should be fairly straightforward!

If and when I get something working that is a bit more standard then I will
post it back up on here.

Jonathan
