Is there a program to rename mp3 files?

[dawgfan]

I have collected numerous mp3 files. The naming conventions are quite diverse and I want to standardize them. Is there such a piece of software that can recognize and change filenames?

Some examples of the formats are:

01 songname.mp3
artist - songname.mp3
songname - artist.mp3
songname [[artist]].mp3

I'd like to see "artist - songname.mp3" if it's possible without manually renaming all of the files.

If you already have proper ID3 tags on your files, yes you can do it with a program like MP3tag or Tag&Rename.

Do the files have tags? If so then a free program like MP3Tag will work great. If they aren't tagged, then you'll have a little more work, basically changing the variable string to match each type of file and updating them in groups.

For example, the 1st one would be $num %title%
the 2nd , %artist% - %title%

etc - it will make a lot more sense when you see it in the application, and it shows you previews so you can be certain you have the string correct before performing the action.

Thank you both very much. After a very busy day at the office I was glad to see your replies to my question when I logged on.

Based on a quick run thru of the software, it appears some of my files are lacking proper tags, but many are just right for the conversion. Thanks again!
