Say I have a list of keywords:

$ cat filenames.txt 
satin
perdido
savoy
stockings
april
lullabye

I want to find all the files in some directory that contains those keywords.

I have tried something like:

find some_dir/ -type f "$(printf '-or -iname *%s* ' $(cat filenames.txt))"

But somehow I am not able to use printf to build the whole find command; I get:

-bash: printf: -o: invalid option
sed grep find

I am using the following one-liner to split my flac file with cue sheet into several flac files:

shntool split -f "Album.cue" -o flac -t '%n - %p - %t' "Album.flac"

Problem is: when the title in the cue sheet contains "ç" or "?" the corresponding splitted file seems corrupt, and I cannot listen to it. Of course if I remove the title altogether:

-t '%n - %p'

Files are created without any error.

So, how do I handle those special characters n the cue sheet (that arose with titles, but it could also impact performer's name")

I have CDImage.ape and CDImage.cue files that I want to convert to separate FLAC files using flacon.

Converting first with ffmpeg the .ape file to .flac and then splitting it with flacon and the same .cue file works like a charm! But if I use flacon directly on the .ape it fails with corresponding error:

flacon fails to handle single ape file

the cue file reads something like:

I suspect there is some ape codec missing but then mac seems correctly installed and linked to flacon (I believe this package contains the ape codec)

Flacon settings

Thanks for your help

I want to backup only my FLAC music folders. FLAC files could be nested like that inside the folders:

AlbumName/
├── Files/
│   ├── someSong01.flac
│   ├── someSong02.flac
├── Covers/
│   ├── someCover01.jpg
│   └── someCover02.jpg

How do I copy and move all AlbumName's folders with their corresponding structure and content that contain somewhere inside at least one FLAC file (I'll assume this is enough to say: the music is in FLAC format)

EDIT: FLAC files could be nested; so I can have:

AlbumName2/
├── someSong01.flac
├── someSong02.flac
├── Covers/
│   ├── someCover01.jpg
|   └── someCover02.jpg

And I want to copy those folders with all their contents, not only FLAC files, and paste to another directory.

So if I have as well

AlbumName3/
├── someSong01.mp3
├── someSong02.mp3
├── Covers/
│   ├── someCover01.jpg
|   └── someHiddenSong.flac

and 

AlbumName4/
├── Files/
│   ├── someSong01.mp3
│   ├── someSong02.mp3
├── Covers/
│   ├── someCover01.jpg
│   └── someCover02.jpg

I want to cp recursively to another directory AlbumName, AlbumName2 and AlbumName3 but not AlbumName4

EDIT: None of the answers were really doing what I want, so I ended up using something like that:

 find -mindepth 2 -name '*.flac' -exec dirname {} \; | awk -F "/" '{print $2}' | sort -u | while read -r dirname; do cp -r "$dirname" "backup/"; done

basically I list all flac files, I retrieve the root folder using awk, I delete the duplicates and I do what I want
