basically I’m mirroring my music library to my new phn and Android shits itself when it encounters ?,*," in filenames. I used to manually remove them but today I decided to actually learn how to automate.

Nice, extra hard because those symbols all have special meanings when searching something. Nice puzzle, I wish I had the energy to solve it right now.

Are you just trying to remove special characters from the filename, or are you also trying to move them to new directories?

Btw, yt-dlp has a –restrict-filenames option.
