As one very newbie to another,
Wouldn't it be "safer" to use 'mv' instead of 'cp' and 'rm'? That way,
if the destination dir didn't exist (/industgoth/new) the script would
error out and not have removed any of the mp3 files from the original
location.
Also, was there a special reason for the copying them to the root dir
instead of straight to the destination dir?
