Search for Specific Files Fast

I ran across an instance where I needed to record all occurrences of a specific file type into a text file so that I could review it later on. In order to do this, I used this command in the terminal:

find -name *.wma > wma.txt

Simple, short, and to the point but I easily forgot how to do it until I looked at my history. So, I wanted it to be recorded here for future times.

Music Organization Spree

I have been spending a ton of time within the EasyTag program organizing all of my 30GB+ music collection. I’ve done extensive detective work on all of my files and made my collection as accurate as possible including album art for every song. As the name suggests, it has been pretty easy to tag my collection, however, it is time consuming. The CDDB look-up function has helped save some time, but it doesn’t really help for the single, “orphan” songs. So far, I have gotten through about 75% 100% of my collection and when I’m finished it will be it is the cleanest, most complete music library that I know of. My brothers will be envious. The final score: 5340 tracks, totaling 24.2GB after cleaning up about 12GB worth of bad, unwanted music. That’s 1 week and 5 days worth of music.
