So, you’ve encoded all of your CDs (still illegal in the UK) onto your computer, or even a storage array, and you realise that the filenames don’t always match the track title.
This quick bash command will list the differences:
find <path> -iname \*.ogg -type f | while read FILE; do NAME="$( basename "$FILE" )" NAME="${NAME/.ogg/}" TITLE="$( ogginfo "$FILE" | \ grep -i "title=" | cut -d"=" -f 2 )" if [ "$NAME" != "$TITLE" ]; then echo -e "$FILE\\t$TITLE" fi done | tee titles.list
I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to parse this output to actually rename the files 😉
