Music management
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 😉

Answering my own question, how about this:
LASTDIR="" find <path> -iname \*.ogg -type f | while read FILE; do DIR="$( dirname "$FILE" )" NAME="$( basename "$FILE" )" NAME="${NAME/.ogg/}" TITLE="$( ogginfo "$FILE" | grep -i "title=" | cut -d"=" -f 2 )" TITLE="${TITLE/\//\\}" if [ -n "$TITLE" -a "$NAME" != "$TITLE" ]; then if [ "$LASTDIR" != "$DIR" ]; then echo "cd \"$DIR\" || exit 1" LASTDIR="$DIR" fi echo "mv '$NAME.ogg' '$TITLE.ogg'" fi done | tee rename.sh && chmod 755 rename.sh && ./rename.sh
