Oooh!  I did not know that ... thanks ... went through and changed them all.

I caught the * bit - I must be learning!

One thought though ... because fnmatch ignores case I could get away
with: .FLAC, .flac, .FLac, or any other such foolishness for file
extensions ...

Using the above approach, however, matches by case ... so, I think, to
be safe, I would have to list each iteration of the case in the list
... is there a way to account for that ?

Thanks again -
