[Vorbis] [sorta offtopic] Removing bad bytes from filenames

You could also have used "tr", something like this:

for i in *Thou*18*
do
  j=`echo "$i" | tr -d "\277"`
  if [ "$i" != "$j" ]
  then
    mv -i "$i" "$j"
  fi
done

I just now discovered that this should also work:

rename Thou`echo -ne "\277"` Thou *.ogg
