Dec 7, 2013 at 21:28	comment	added	uxserx-bw		I am using ffmpeg to converting mp3s to 128K giving them a new name with underscores to replace all the spaces and junk between the names in the file, then making directories according to there artist album metadata then putting them into said directories. I just had that problem of getting rid of the old file due to all the spaces and junk between the names of the artist and such. now it is working great and converting, placing new mp3's where they need to be and getting rid of the old file while I just sit here thinking of something else to write in bash script :D thanks!
