Actually, I'm currently working on restoring the fdb code. Should be
ready some time tomorrow. But I don't understand your statement above.
A good solution to what, exactly?

The problem is that this is not how real filesystems behave and
thus leads to lots of unexpected results as this thread proves.

What's wrong with:
for f in ~/*/A*/*/*.{oog,mp3} /allMusic/Jazz/Ella/*/*; do
cp mnt/tune/$f
