I am trying to write a script that will go through my current mp3 directory and change any space in a file name to an under score as well as change all upper case characters to lower case. I am new to scripting and I have done pretty good so far, but now I am trying to make my script recursive.
Here is what I have so far:
#!/bin/bash
#ls -R | while read -r FILE
for FILE in `find /home/mmay3/Music/tori_amos *.mp3 -type f`
do
mv -v $FILE `echo $FILE | tr ' ' '_' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
done
Any help would be greatly appreciated
