This one will change the spaces to underscores:

#!/bin/sh
for i in `find $1* -type f -name *.ogg`; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' ' \
'_'`; done

(should be one line; vim wraps at 72 characters for me)

If you do not use a free music format, you will need to change the .ogg
to the appropriate extension.
