[LAU] Generic ipod: ogg vorbis tag name weirdness

My imitation ipod plays oggs. They all seemed to be tagged correctly, but some always showed up as Unknown Artist etc. Couldn't figure it out till I looked at the tags with vorbiscomment. THe only difference was that the 'Unknown' files had tagnames in lower case, like title=badum-badum. Known files had TITLE=etc. Here's a short script to fix this up, and add discnumber tag for good measure (which my player seem to need) #! /bin/bash # capitalise tag names on today's ogg files # add discnumber tag if not already there for ogg in $(find . -mtime -1 -name '*.ogg'); do vorbiscomment -l $ogg | sed 's/.*=/\U&/g' > "$1{1%%.ogg}.tag" if [ `grep -c DISCNUMBER $1{1%%.ogg}.tag` -eq 0 ] then echo "DISCNUMBER=1" >> "$1{1%%.ogg}.tag" fi vorbiscomment -w -c "$1{1%%.ogg}.tag" $ogg rm -f "$1{1%%.ogg}.tag" done The discnumber tag could be added with vorbiscomment's -a flag, but oh well... I got the temporary file bit from some guy on the Arch forums, so thanks whoever you are.
