Re: Ooops, need a one liner!

Not a one liner, but a small shell script. Remove the echo after you
test it to actually move the files.

------- cut here ------
#!/bin/bash

mus_dir="music"

find ~/$mus_dir -name '*.ogg' -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file
do
        nf=`echo $file | sed "s/$mus_dir/ogg_music/"`
        nd=`dirname "$nf"`
        if [ ! -d "$nd" ] ; then
                mkdir -p "$nd"
        fi
        echo mv "$file" "$nf"
done
---- end here ----
