Sort and combine Audio folders
Hello all,
I have two folders full of music each around 70GB. For the most part they have duplicate info but 1 has more. How can I combine the 2 folders adding only the differences of each without making duplicates? Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou! |
Hi Dman58,
if you have just duplicates concerning filenames how about: Code:
cp -nv /path/to/source1 /path/to/destination The option -v will print each copied file (to check what is being copied). If you have nested directories use also -r (recursive). |
Thanks for the tip. I'll try it out & post back the results shortly.

I'm unable to change directories to my external drive in the terminal. Only browsing through with konqueror, I can view my directory. When I use the command "df -h" the drive comes up as /dev/sdc1 466G 437G 29G 94% /media/My Book-3. In terminal I'm unable to get to these directories. I get the following message: bash: cd: /media/My: No such file or directory
|
You're unable to change because you've spaces in your path. If you are using the bash shell try
Code:
cd /media/My[tab] that should end in something like Code:
cd /media/My\ Book-3/ use " or ' around your path. |
I am away from home but I will try that as soon as I get back, probably tomorrow evening.
Thanks in advanced |
Thank you very much those steps worked. I have a lot to learn still especially around the command line.
