Filesystem-Based Music Library Views

This is a script I wrote to make virtual views from music collection.  I thought someome might find this useful, especially people who don't use a library-based media player for their music.  It may (will) have to be changed to likings. This currently depends on the library pool being in "$artist/$album/$title.$extension" format.

fmv-update:

#!/bin/bash

sed -i "s:$library/Root/::" $tmp/list

split -l $sl $tmp/list $tmp/list.
rm $tmp/list

while [ "$(ls -A $tmp)" ]; do
    sleep 2
