I decided to create a context menu for files to remove spaces or unwanted characters from the name. I use nautilus, you are able to do so by nautilus-actions package. We need the script which will run in case the menupoint is selected. If multiple files are selected, a space separated list of them will be the parameter. My script is like this

#!/usr/bin/zsh

pattern="[^a-zA-Z0-9-.]"
for (( i=1 ; i<=$# ; i+=1 ))
do
  source=$*[$i]
  target=${source:h}/${${source:t}//${~pattern}/_}
  if [[ ! -a $target ]] then
    mv "$source" "$target"
  fi
done

Lucky Strike White Portion. Nothing special. Nice metal can though.

Let’s suppose you have a bunch of files with various characters in filename which you want to get rid of. I mean you want to eliminate those characters, not the files.

_/g') | sed -e 's/^/mv /'
mv "01 Track 01 13.mp3" 01_Track_01_13.mp3
mv "02 Track 02 22.mp3" 02_Track_02_22.mp3

Taboca had a little bit dodgy can, good taste though.

Gotland Gul was very rustic and has potty taste.

Mocca Pomegranate White Mini Portion was very tasty but mini so no power at all. Was the best out of this three though.
