Matt >>> Wow!  That's a several light years away from where my 
understanding is right now!  And there are a couple of issues that might 
require some editing of this bash script:

(a)  Most of my music consists of .flac files (the script seems to work 
with .mp3 files - sorry I didn't make this clear earlier)

(b)  For various reasons (to do with displaying files names, and having 
a lot of very long and descriptive ones for movements in classical 
music) I'd prefer to keep the spaces if possible.

Would it be worth my pursuing a solution that substitutes escaped spaces 
for spaces on the fly in the output from 'find'?  (I don't know enough 
to know whether that's even worth looking into.)

Many thanks for your time and trouble.

Best wishes
