I am migrating my music over from itunes to run on Amarok (or another player that may be better and can sync an ipod touch running ios 4.2.1). The first step is to copy my music files from my itunes directories into the music folder on my hard drive, /home/music.
The problem is, I have about 1/3 or 1/4 of these files purchased directly from itunes, and so they are in the proprietary itunes format, *.m4p.
I will not be sharing my purchased music with anyone, so I will not be violating any copyright laws, so no worries there.
However, I still need to be able to read these songs with the music player in OS 11.4, and I still need to be able to manage my ipod touch in OS without going back to windows.
My first thought is that I would like to segregate all the m4p files into one directory folder. /homes/music has multiple sub-directories with the artists names, and those have sub-directories with album names on them.
I was thinking the command line would be faster than one by one, if there is a command line program similar to 'mv' that will look into a directory and all its sub-directories to find files of type *.m4p, and move them to a separate directory.
