 It uses [id3tool | http://nekohako.xware.cx/id3tool/] to read the [ID3] tag, instructs [SED] to massage the information into something that looks like [Shell] script, executes that to put values into variables, checks which variables are set, and if at least an artist name (optionally also album name) is given, moves the file into that directory. (It's rather a mouthful for a oneliner, but hey.)

+ Alter the number after sleep(1) to change the speed of the refresh. This is equalivent to the slightly more understandable :  
+  
+<verbatim>  
+ for uid in $( gpg --with-colons --list-keys | grep ^pub | awk -F : '{print $5}' ) ; do  
+ gpg --refresh $uid  
+ sleep 5  
+ done  
+< /verbatim>  
+  
+! Notes by AristotlePagaltzis :  
+  
+This is a useless use of grep . Better written as follows:  
+  
+<verbatim>  
+ for uid in $( gpg --with-colons --list-keys | awk -F : ' /^pub /{ print $5 }' ) ; do gpg --refresh $uid ; sleep 5 ; done  
+< /verbatim>  
+  
+which can be abbreviated as  
+  
+<verbatim>  
+ gpg --with-colons --list-keys | awk -F : ' /^pub /{ print $5 }' | xargs -ri sh -c 'gpg --refresh {} ; sleep 5'  
+</verbatim>  
+  
+It's a pity xargs(1) doesn't offer any speed controls itself, in that case the ugly roundabout via shell wouldn't be necessary
