Hi experts, I'd like to ask for a bit of help with using id3v2. My mp3 files have names in form 'author_author__song_name.mp3' and don't have id3 tag at all. I'm trying to get author and song name to id3 tag from file name like this: ls *.mp3 | xargs -n1 -i basename \{\} .mp3 | xargs -n1 -i id3v2 -t `ls *.mp3 | basename \{\} .mp3 | awk -F__ '{print $1}'` -A Greatest_Hits_80s -g Pop {}.mp3 This does not produce what I would expect and title is "author_author__song_name" instead of "author_author". When I try ls *.mp3 | xargs -n1 -i basename \{\} .mp3 | awk -F__ '{print $1}' or ls *.mp3 | xargs -n1 -i basename \{\} .mp3 | awk -F__ '{print $2}' I get author or song_name as expected. How can I combine the two and achieve what I want? Is there any other way to do this? Thx, Martin --------------------------------- Yahoo! Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs. Try it free.
