batch renaming
« on: January 02, 2003, 07:21:56 am »
Okay this is my sitch:

I'm moving to India and leaving my beloved 100GIG hard drive weilding desktop behind.

My laptop has a mere 40GB  on it and I cannot store the entirety of my 15GB music collection.  What I want to do is put the 15GB on data CDs of MP3's organized by genre.  So basically I need to change my naming sceme from /artist/album/song to /genre/artist/album/song


or just /genre/artist/song

Does anyone know how to do this?

Oh and to make it more interesting, my desktop is running linux and so I have to order it to rename this and that over the network via Samba... :}

Did you try changing the Rename Mask?

Maybe To:

[GENRE] - [ARTIST] - [ALBUM] - [NAME]

"Rename File From Properties"

In MJ8, you select the tracks (all of them maybe), right click and take properties, then the tools menu, then "Rename..."

In MC9 you select the tracks (all of them maybe), right click and take Tools,  then "Rename..."

During the rename you can select the fields you want to make up the new directory structure.
