Hi,

I am trying to get mp3gain to process all my mp3 files which are in various directories in /mnt/hda1/music

I want to use somthing like:
mp3gain -k -T -p `ls -R /mnt/hda1/music`

I am looking for a way to get a full path listing of every file including sub directories.

if I use:
ls -R /mnt/hda1/music

I get:

/mnt/hda1/music/u2/The Joshua Tree:
U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky.mp3
U2 - Exit.mp3
U2 - In God's Country.mp3

I need:

/mnt/hda1/music/u2/The Joshua Tree/U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky.mp3
/mnt/hda1/music/u2/The Joshua Tree/U2 - Exit.mp3
/mnt/hda1/music/u2/The Joshua Tree/U2 - In God's Country.mp3
....etc

I may need to use a script of some sort.
If you have any suggestions please respond.

Thanks
Sygin

find /mnt/hda1/music -true

Thanks jkobrien,

Your suggestion almost works.

I now use:
mp3gain -k -T -p `find /mnt/hda1/music/*.mp3 -true`

The problem is that the spaces in the filenames confuse mp3gain.

Is there a way to wrap the filenames in quotes " or ' ?

Thanks
Sygin

You could pipe the find output through a sed command.

Something like...

find /mnt/hda1/music -true | sed 's/ /\\ /g'

Hi People,

After studing the manual for 'find'

The problem is solved.

I now use:
find /mnt/hda1/music -exec mp3gain -p -k -T '{}' \;

This runs:
mp3gain -p -k -T

On every file found in the /mnt/hda1/music directory including all subdirectories (recursivly).

Thanks jkobrien
You rock!
