I need a scripting suggestion

[k_rock923]

I have this bash script that I use to rip and encode a cd. the problem is, a band like AC/DC breaks it. The / fucks up stuff big time for a number of reasons. For one thing, the file that you get back from a cddb query has the format ARTIST / TITLE of the album. I have the script take everything before the / and make it the artist for the name and tag and everything after the / be the album. I can live with that problem I guess and use easytag to fix them all at once. The problem that I can't live with is this: If a song has a / in its name, massive problems occur. My script has lame output the file to ARTIST - SONGTITLE, with songtitle coming from the file from CDDB. Lame can't exactly save a file with a / in it (this is linux). So I suppose I could have the script change the / to somethign else, but it's not the right track name then. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do about this, or what I can change the / to?

That doesn't fix it for when it's in the song's title.

well, I solved the track name problem, i just used sed to make it a backslash. But idk what the hell i'm going to do with the artist name. this is what the line in question from the cddb query looks like. . .(there's more to it, but a cut command leaves it at the parts that I need)

AC/DC / Stiff Upper Lip

normally, this works great because i can just use cut, use '/' as the delimiter and f 1 and f 2 and get artist and title. Even something in pseudo code would be helpful here.
