take the code between the two cut lines:

 ----------8<------------------
#!/bin/bash

find $1 -type f \(  -name '*.mp3'    \
                -o -name '*.MP3'    \) |
while IFS= read -r NAME;
do
DEST=`echo "$NAME" | tr ' ' '_'`
echo mv -v "${NAME}" "${DEST}"
done
 ----------8<------------------

and place into a file named ren_mp3s, and then to make it executable:

chmod +x ren_mp3s

and then do a test run of the script (it needs modification to do
anything other than a test run):

./ren_mp3s dir_containing_mp3s

make sure the output looks correct and then remove the echo command
from before the mv command.

hope that helps
