Thanks Mike, it now shows ;= 
if [ -d /media/usb/ ]; then
   /usr/bin/rsync -av --exclude *.mp2 /home/boztu/ /media/usb/`/bin/date 
+%Y%m%d`/ \
   >> /home/boztu/cron/backup.txt
fi

This shows the discs titles, etc but totally excludes each track. It never 
occurred to me to have a look at the man page, thanks for pointing me in the 
right direction. Its now working nicely :)

Sharon.
