Alright, iv searched the web and anything I could think of, and after many attemps and installations later, I have gotten no where. Im looking for a program to rename my .mp3s to the format i desire. I like the first letter of all the words capitalized, a space (no "_") between all the words, and ".mp3" at the end. I dont want any special symbols or numbers in the name. I found a program that mostly did this, BUT like every other program, it renames the mp3s from the ID3 file. So since half my songs dont have a ID3 file filled out, it just renames then .mp3. Does anyone know of such a simple program that i want, or are there any programers who are willing to whip something up for me? Frankly, im tired of renaming them 1 at a time and i got 13,000+ to go.

Please somebody help me

Try Bulk Rename Utility. seems to do what it says on the tin. I have played with it for photographs and seems ok. Look here

http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php

This is the help file if it helps :-)

The application supports flexible renaming criteria, including:



· Select files and/or folders

· Files and/or Folders

· Full support for Perl-5 Regular Expressions

· Change the file name, or use a fixed filename

· Convert the extension to lower case, upper case, title case - or replace it - or add a secondary extension - or remove it - or leave it alone!

· Replace text with other text

· Add a fixed prefix or suffix

· Add text to the middle of a name

· Move text to the start/end/middle of a name

· Remove the first n characters

· Remove the last n characters

· Remove from the nth character to the nth character

· Remove a list of characters

· Remove all digits, characters or symbols

· Remove double-spaces

· Crop text before or after a fixed character or string

· Change to upper case, lower case, title case, sentence case - all with user-defined exceptions

· Auto-number files, with a prefix or suffix, and with a predefined minimum-length if required.

· Prefix or suffix the filename with various dates (date-modified, accessed, created, or today's date), in many different formats with variable separators

· Append the folder name to the file

· Store your frequently-used criteria as Favourites

· Copy or move the renamed files to a new location

· Set or clear attributes on the files (not folders)

· Rename files according to a delimited list.

· Access the Shell Context Menu for all files/folders

· Process folders and sub-folders very quickly.

· Change a file or folder's Created, Modified and Accessed timestamps (not folders in Windows 98)

· Convert Roman Numerals to upper or lower case

· Log all activity to a text-file

· Create an UNDO batch file.



All of these changes automatically ignore the filename extension, as it's usually dangerous to change the extension for a file. However, you can change the extension case to a fixed extension, or add a "secondary" extension, and you can also remove an extension. You can choose to ignore extensions within folder names - e.g. treat Program.Files as a normal filename - but not filenames.



The application supports Favourites, which allows quick access to frequently-used rename configurations.



Directory recursion is also fully supported, allowing you to process folders and sub-folders.



This application is continually being enhanced. If you like the application, but have some suggestions for enhancements or improvements, then please get in touch. If you don't like the application then please tell me what you don't like! I would add some more functionality (e.g. allow conversion of double-spaces to single-spaces, allow removal of leading spaces) etc., but I'm struggling to find the room on the screen! If anyone has any bright ideas......



This help file is accurate as of version 2.3.4.0 (or later) of the Utility.

Iv already tried that, its just like all the others. Plus its way to complicated for what i want. Just something that changes the format of the file name (eg: ACDC - Back In Black.mp3, nothing like AC/DC_-_Back_in_black.MP3 or anything obscure like that)

Complicated it may be, but it will do exactly what you need to do. Just read through the help files , it's quite simple really. Good luck in your search though.
