Looks like it's high time I start doing things with command line!  I'll 
try these things out on a test box in case I make any wild mistakes.  
Hopefully it'll work out well.  I can't play my CD's on the train, and 
I'm using my MP3 player a lot lately, so....

Thank you to everyone for your helpful suggestions!  I'm in the middle 
of going over a batch of 1,500 image files, so it might be a week or so 
before I can properly experiment with the options pointed out.

PS - Regarding the previous issue of learning Japanese - is anyone 
making use of audio books in Japanese?  I found a section on the third 
floor of the Shinjuku Kinokuniya (by the South Exit of Shinjuku Station, 
but actually sitting in Shibuya-ku address-wise) with a few shelves of 
them (the first clerk I asked said they didn't have anything and 
suggested I go to a record store) - any comments about good ones to buy 
or good places to buy disks?
