John,
You can do this much better (IMHO) with rsync.
Try something like:
rsync -a --include=*.mp3 /home/john/Music/ /home/john/converted
This is probably the way to go /if/ I wanted to copy accross to my
windows machine, but at present I do not. I just want media player to be
able to access the converted folder over the network.
to save on disc space (and time) I have used to cpio -l option so that
instead of copying the mp3 files it uses links instead.
The problem I forsee with rsync is that it will copy any horrible
changes that media player makes to my files. With the above solution I
have media player access my files through a read only share to make sure
the linked files are 'safe'!!
Thanks for the help on the cron jobs will try soon.
