I haven't ever seen a single line of Bash before, but since you PM'd me, I'll give it a shot.

If you are trying to rename all of the mp3s to have the prefix "band_song", then I would have to guess this. This is a total shot in the dark though...

(Toggle Plain Text)

#!/bin/bash

for x in *.mp3
        do
                mv "$x" "band_song$x";
        done

Unless your script already worked, and you were trying to "check the input". Which you'll need to be more specific about.
