Hello, I ripped some CDs from my collection to MP3s and I have this problem: the ripper created the file names using the name of the author, the name of the album and the name of the track, like that: some_author_-_some_album_-_XX_-_some_track.mp3. I can't burn theses files on a CD without renaming them, and this is a pain. How do I shorten theses names to just XX_-_some_track.mp3, using a script? Best regards, David Garnier

Why? mkisofs -JR -o /tmp/iso /path/to/mp3z -J Generate Joliet directory records in addition to regular iso9660 file names. This is primarily use ful when the discs are to be used on Windows-NT or Windows-95 machines. -R Generate SUSP and RR records using the Rock Ridge protocol to further describe the files on the iso9660 filesystem.

for i in *.mp3; do mv $i `echo $i | cut -d "-" -f 3,4 | sed s/_//`; done Henne -- Hendrik Vogelsang aka Henne mailto: hvogel@suse.de If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose? # fightclub sigs made with fortune

No need for a script, use "mmv": mmv "some_author_-_*" "#1" will rename all files by removing "some_author_-_" from the beginning. Quite neat, huh?

Bloody hell this works (almost) great! The only problem is that #1 should be =1. So the final command is : mmv "some_author_-_*" "=1" The syntax is a bit special but the tool is powerful. When I think of the time I spent doing this in my Windows days... After posting this, I realize that this was actually a FreeBSD question since my file server is a FreeBSD box. But the good people at FreeBSD did provide a port for mmv, so all is good. Thanks for all the submissions. Best regards, David Garnier

I've been using yamt from the SuSE discs and it's wonderful. I've been placing the track numbers in the comment field.

Check Yast2 for a file named 'mmv' (i.e., multiple move). It's absolutely brilliant! In your case, you could type the following: mmv "*XX_-_some_track.mp3" \ "XX_-_some_track.mp3" Let us know how it goes, Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
