How can I do foreach *.mp3 file recursively in a bash script?

Question

The following works fine within the current folder, but I would like it to scan sub folders as well.

for file in *.mp3

do

echo $file

done

Answer 1

find . -name *.mp3 -exec echo {} \;

The string {} is replaced by the current file name being processed everywhere it occurs in the arguments to the command, not just in arguments where it is alone, as in some versions of find.

Please check the find man for further info http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?find
