Hi Chris,
You don't have to add any arguments to the script I wrote, just run it.
Note that it will change the extension for *all* files in the directory,
so .DOC > .doc, .PDF > .pdf etc. I sent another script that hasn't been
distributed yet for *just* .MP3 to.mp3. Here it is again in case it got
lost.
#/bin/bash
for i in *.MP3
do
name=`echo $i |sed s/'.MP3'//`
ext=".mp3"
echo "$i : $name$ext"
# mv "$i" "$name$ext"
done
