Yes, I'm sorting out my music. I've got everything arranged beautifully in the following mantra: /Artist/Album/Track - Artist - Title.ext
and if one exists, the cover sits in /Artist/Album/cover.(jpg|png)
.
I want to scan through all the second-level directories and find the ones that don't have a cover. By second level, I mean I don't care if /Britney Spears/
doesn't have a cover.jpg, but I would care if /Britney Spears/In The Zone/
didn't have one.
Don't worry about the cover-downloading (that's a fun project for me tomorrow) I only care about the glorious bash-fuiness about an inverse-ish find
example.
