People,
This line correctly finds one MP3 but misses two FLACs:
ssh localhost "find
/home/phil/music/ambient/RobertGass+OnWingsOfSong/OmNamahaShivaya
-maxdepth 1 -type f \\( -name "*.mp3" -o -name "*.m4a" -o -name
"*.flac" \\)"
Adding extra escapes fixes the problem:
ssh localhost "find
/home/phil/music/ambient/RobertGass+OnWingsOfSong/OmNamahaShivaya
-maxdepth 1 -type f \\( -name \"*.mp3\" -o -name \"*.m4a\" -o -name
\"*.flac\" \\)"
. . but why is there only a problem with the "flac" OR? - all three
files have at least one space in the filename:
01_Early Morning.mp3
02 Om.flac
01 Om Namaha Shivaya.flac
Thanks,
Phil.

I usually resort to running "detox" on the file. Try >man detox.
Thanks for that, detox is nice but if I was going to be thinking about
renaming files in this case I would use my own method eg:
File:
01 Om Namaha Shivaya.flac
detox produces:
01_Om_Namaha_Shivaya.flac
but I would do:
01_OmNamahaShivaya.flac

What I do is:
find <some dir> -name \*.mp3 -o -name \*.flac -o -name \*.mp4
and I get ALL the files with those extensions listed.
Notice: No quotes!!!
That is an improvement - thanks!
Phil.
