I have a bunch of mp3 files with names like " - blahblah01.mp3", " - blahblah02.mp3" and so on.

I want to remove the " - " from the front of the file name. The spaces seem to make it interesting.

Here's what I have so far...

find . -name " - *.mp3" -execdir bash -c "mv `echo \"{}\"` `echo {} | sed 's/ - //'`" \;

Here's what I get:

mv: target `track1.mp3' is not a directory

Any suggestions?

ls -d *.mp3 | sed 's/\(.*\).mp3$/sed "s\/\ -\ \/\/g" "&" > \1.mp3' | sh

this hasn't been tested .. but might work

Or maybe:
