Example.
I would want to rename every file that ends in .mp3 to
their filename with appended .old.

so that, test.mp3 will be renamed test.mp3.old?
my initial command would then be:

ls |grep mp3 |xargs -J # mv #..[this part is what
trying to figure out]

How will I tell the mv that its arguments would be the
output of ls and append something like ".old" to it?
~


Thanks!
