 Hallo,
Hans hat gesagt: // Hans wrote:

Almost, but you're trying to link a file on itself here ("$i->$i").
Use this instead:

$ for i in ./dir1/*.mp3; do ln -s $i . ;done

or even more general: 

$ for i in */* ; do ln -s $i . ; done

Ciao

 This I don't understand: so what does the "." stand for?

P.S. Almost forgot to thank you. This one works and is short too!
