LinuxQuestions.org - Move files modified by Picard out of source folder

Let me set this up, I have a massive folder with MP3s (lets call it /MP3) that I'm using Picard to attempt to populate the metadata on. Seems like every time I run it against the folder, it catches a few more files, but it also scans all the previously updated files.
So what I'd like to do is somehow move any file from /MP3 that has been modified in the last 4 hours, then move (not copy) it to /MP3-Identified but in the same subfolder structure that it existed in under /MP3.
What's the best way to do it? Then every time I rescan /MP3 after that, it'll only be scanning the unidentified files.

its not what you're using but what I use to tag and organize according to my needs, that is why its modded here and there. I just get them situated and wittle them down until I get them where I want them to be. Anyways mod it to your needs. it copies and moves files to a different file structure to get them out of the way when they are done, it's design to make the back ups for safe keeping at the same time.

uses exiftools and mid3v2 — mutagen
but you can just use whats written to move and or copy it and plug in whatever tool you're using, I do suppose.

Code:

#!/bin/bash



working_dir1="/run/media/userx/4TB_esaystore/Music2" 



#working_dir2="/run/media/userx/4TB_esaystore/Music/The Motels"

#working_dir3=



copy1=/run/media/userx/ntfs/Music

copy2=/run/media/userx/gptntfs1GB/Music



move1=/run/media/userx/4TB_esaystore/Music3



script=/media/data/scripts



count="$(find "$working_dir1" -iname "*.mp3" | wc -l)"
