OT: Search for songs with certain id3 tag

[Michael Neumeier]

D´oh... Sometimes, solution is much more easier that I thought: "grep" does the job perfectly. So if I just go for 

$ grep "Iron Maiden" .

It displays all files that have the band name in it. So never mind - trying even the most simple thing would sometimes help... :)

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?
