[tlug] "How to"

[Bruno Raoult <braoult@example.com>]

Following our discussions, and different solutions to one problem.

1- You have 10,000 files, and you want to find duplicates. Sometimes, 1 file changes, or you add/remove one, so you want to find the changes quickly (let say daily). How?

2- These files have "meta-information" inside (let say date/time), that you can extract. how would you do?

3- How would you *copy* your mp3 (real files) playlists from an m3u file to another place, with no subtree in destination? Example: src/a/b/c/d.mp3 => dst/a-b-c-d.mp3. m3u is a common file format for music playing lists.

4- If you consider the final target being /a/b/c/d, how would you create the new m3u file from the original one? Example: you answered question 3, but the target is for another device/machine, therefore different path.

This is just a practical usage, and maybe a bad example :)
