Plus all tunes copied via a different program would be ignored

No. I was having a busy day and didn't check what I had written.
Assuming it is mounted with -G, as I always do, what I actually
meant was this:
for f in A*/*/*.{oog,mp3} Ella/*/*; do
cp $f mnt/tune/$f
done
ie. you make it work exactly like a real filesystem.
"cp A/B/C.ogg mnt/tune/A/B/C.ogg" works, whilst "cp A/B/C.ogg mnt/tune/"
doesn't work.
That way you don't have to worry about the duplicate file issue.
Any file named mnt/tune/A/B/C.ogg will get overwritten and if you use
"cp -i" it will prompt you first.
By the way, on that previous thread we had several other people who
said that they always used -G too. Can you change the default, please?
Thanks,
Keith.
