AHA!

Able to delete the actual path by using

Code:
sz=$(find | grep Braided); rm "$sz"
EDIT:
Scratch that. Its seems to only work on a single file

Code:
sz=$(find | grep m4p); rm "$sz"
only removes the first file in the list.


Code:
sz=$(find . -name "*.m4p"); rm "$sz"
Does the same.

I'm now at home so using SSH instead of tiny little keys .

using a single file at the moment, this is the path:
Code:
./Neneh Cherry, Speech & Speech & Neneh Cherry/1 Giant Leap/Braided Hair.m4p
Yeah, spaces can really mess things up. I'd advise installing the findutils-gnu package, then doing:
Code:
gfind . -name "*.m4p" -delete

You could use Daniusoft media converter ultimate to strip the DRM and then you won't have to delete them :-)
It also works for BBC iPlayer downloads so you can keep the shows as long as you want!
It's a commercial program and i'd strongly advise you not to find a copy free on the net even though there are loads out there. :-)

Another thank you for this info! I was scratching my head trying to figure out just how to escape spaces in file names. Much easier to just use the Gnu tools... I'll be downloading these myself.

Well I use it for just that purpose, DRM'd music (which I bought! so i'll do what the bloody hell I want with it thank you (aimed at the companies, not you))...and I'm using it right now for an iplayer program I haven't got round to watching yet - but I will delete later, promise.

EDIT.... If you want to email me a DRM'd song, i'll try it for you

Tried the trial of "DRM converter" from their site, creates an mp3 with no sound.
