Hello,

I know it´s not related to amarok, but I didn´t find exactly what I´m looking for so I though I just ask if somebody can point me the way.

Starting point is my mounted iPod and now, I want to search directly on the iPod for a track. I discovered that songs are somehow stored on iPod/iPod_Control/Music/<folder>/<song-with-random-name>". Now, I looked into the properties of one of the songs stored there and I found out that the id3 tags are correctly stored there (yes, I´m really after id3-tagging in my collection). The question now is if I can somehow search for a file with e.g. the title "Back from Dead" in these <folder>-dirs on the command line (I thought about something like "id3-grep"). Does somebody know if this can somehow be done?

Regards,
Michael
