+==== Copy files from list to single directory ====
+Takes paths in a text file (one per line), and copies the files they point to to a single location. I use this to put audio files from playlists into directories I can move over to my phone.
+<code bash>
+while IFS= read -r filename; do cp "$filename" [output directory]; done < [source list]
