Thanks for saving me the trouble :-P Here's what I'm doing. I'm ripping wav's from family CDs to put on my kid's new mp3 player. They all come out: trackNN.cdd* where NN = a track number. Up to now, I've been changing the names to the song names using mv on the command line. A drag. Now I'm completing a script that spills the text TOC (when there is one) and automatically does the renames. Too cool. The app will then let him select what he wants on the player, lame it up, let him move it over and rearrange them, etc. But bad info off the internet isn't much of a step forward. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
