not versed at all. thanks for the explanation

Ik of yt-dlp being able to rename the media that I download using it. but I didn’t use it to get my music. plus it’s not a prob that I have w yt-dlp. even w/o yt-dlp using their same same but not same chars, Linux doesn’t mind ?,* and " in filenames. but I do like the feature as / does present probs.

I didn’t get my music from yt-dlp. and even if the source title contains special chars, yt-dlp uses chars that look the same but aren’t.

edit: am aware of the feature but the one I mentioned does the job for me

trying to remove them so that I can transfer to Android. I can use grep to improve my manual process but I’d love for it to be automatic.

thank you very much

I’ll edit the post w the solution I find but as this can be done many ways, feel free to comment your solution.

for me and those that follow. could you please explain what does what?

basically I’m mirroring my music library to my new phn and Android shits itself when it encounters ?,*," in filenames. I used to manually remove them but today I decided to actually learn how to automate.

exactly what I did. I also didn’t know the existence of rename. how would I go abt using it alongside find?

edit: wrong cmd mentioned

that’s a cool idea. I may implement it.

turns out my kb doesn’t have a XF86AudioPause button, so both play and pause are settled by XF86AudioPlay. so I was trying to make it work w a bind that can’t exist. the cmd that I was executing, this time I fully copied it into the terminal and figured out the error. ‘playerctld’ does not have the same flags as ‘playerctl’. dk y my dumbass thought that.
