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

Sounds like you are looking for the find command. I haven't tested this, but something along these lines:

files=(`find . -name *.mp3`)
for file in "${files[@]}"; do
    echo $file TITLE="id3info "$file" | grep '^=== TIT2' | sed -e 's/.*: //g'" ARTIST="id3info "$file" | grep '^=== TPE1' | sed -e 's/.*: //g'"
done

EDIT: using the array makes the command safe for files with spaces in their names.
