It was something like that I did last time and
that's similar to what I was trying earlier. It
gives simiilar results to what I was getting;

e.g.

Aerosmith-Amazing.mp3
Aerosmith-Boogie Man.mp3
Aerosmith-Can't Stop Messin'.mp3

Running the above script gives;

mv: target `Amazing.mp3' is not a directory
mv: target `Boogie' is not a directory
mv: cannot stat `Man.mp3*': No such file or directory
mv: target `Can\'t' is not a directory
mv: cannot stat `Stop': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `Messin\'.mp3*': No such file or directory

Maybe I'm thick but I can't see what's happening.
