And one more thing: when processing command line arguments with a for loop, just "for f; do" is enough.

Thanks for the comments!

Yes, the timeout is there because the default timeout of 2 seconds (or so) is not enough since my iTunes is configured to copy the added file to the iTunes media library (1080p content often weighs in on a gigabyte or two). And if I googled properly "ignoring application responses" would make the add return immediately. However, I actually want it to block until the media has been added so that I can safely rm it afterwards. But please do correct me if I'm wrong. :-)

No, you're right. I don't know of a good way around that. Probably best the way you did it.
