After a little more digging, I managed this:
for folder in `find /tunes -type d`
do
find $folder -type f -follow -name '*.ogg' -o -name '*.mp3' -o
-name '*.MP3' | sort > $folder/playlist.m3u done
It does basically what I want it to do--generates playlists for the mp3s
and oggs in every folder and subfolder. BUT, it would be really cool if I
could get each m3u file to have a more telling name--like
talking_heads_playlist.m3u. I tried doing this with
$folder/$folder_playlist.m3u, but that $folder is the path, and I just
want the name of the current folder. (and it generated
errors--/tunes/talking_heads//tunes/talking_heads file not found)
Is it possible to pull out just the current directory (ignoring the path)
to use in the filename?
