I'm trying to setup an iTunes share on my linux box using daapd. For
some reason though, the developers didn't have the program recursively
search the directory given in /etc/daapd.conf for audio files. Instead
of modifying the source to do this myself, I want to just make a script
to recursively search a certain directory for audio files and then
symlink them to a different directory that I can point daapd to. The
only problem I'm having with making a script is finding some way to
recursively search the directories. The files are organized in folders
arccording to artist->albums->songs so it is easy to do a " ln -s *
/web/itunes " at the bottom of each directory. Any insight on the
recursive search would be helpful. Thanks.
