id3v2 script problem

Stanton02 · 12-17-2019, 03:07 PM

Hi guys! i'm here with this simple script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

for i in {1..9}
do
	
	title_mp3=$( ls *0$i* )
	echo "$title_mp3"
	title_mp3=$(ls 0$i* |sed 's/ /\\ /g'|sed "s/'/\\\'/g")
	id3v2 -t 0"$i".mp3 "$title_mp3"
done

for i in {10..39}
do
	
	title_mp3=$( ls *$i* )
	echo $title_mp3
done

i wrote this script in order to rename the title tag of mp3 chapter files of an audiobook.
These files have names like:
01 La regola dell'equilibrio_Uno.mp3
...
39 La regola dell'equilibrio_Trentuno.mp3
With the above script i want to assign the title 0$i_$title_mp3.mp3 to alle files up to the 9th and the title $i_$title_mp3.mp3 to all the other files which start with 2 numbers (like 10, 11, 12 and so on).

So the question that i want to present are exentially two:
1 - I have a problem with the id3v2 command that regardless the "$title_mp3" variable is correct, during execution of the script i obtain the following result:

Couldn't stat file '01\ La\ regola\ dell\'equilibrio_Uno.mp3'

2 - you maybe think that this script is improvable? if yes how?

thank you so much for your TIME!

I don't know why id3v2 complains, but you don't have to treat single digits and double digits separately. Just do

Code:

for i in {01..39}
...

EDIT: Perhaps id3v2 doesn't see the MP3 file because the name is not quite correct. Double-check with stat "$i.mp3" or if [ -f "$i.mp3" ]; then echo exists; fi.

...and don't parse ls ...
