I copied a music folder from an iPod to a PC.  I'm looking for a program to rename m4a files to the song titles.

This is what the files currently look like (in multiple folders)
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F00\LSIV.m4am4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F00\LWTI.m4am4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F00\MMWG.m4am4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F00\OCRJ.m4am4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F00\PDJZ.mp3mp3
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F01\AKEA.m4am4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F01\BPAC.m4am4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F01\BPTP.m4am4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F01\CCSE.m4am4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F01\CDOD.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F01\CTFQ.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F01\DCFH.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F01\DJUL.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F02\AEPE.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F02\AGIQ.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F02\BJRO.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F02\BLXA.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F02\BRQW.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F02\BSZX.m4a
\MyDocuments2\My Music\Music\F02\CFZZ.m4a

There are 900 of them.

It would be great to find a program that would rename them with the artist & song title.

Thanks,

Media Center can do that itself using the Rename Files from Properties tool.  It is unbelievably powerful.

You can fix those .m4am4a files too.

I assume the 4 letter filename is random, so you're looking for an automatic recognition and tagger?

Try MusicBrainz Picard?

If the files have tags, do as Glynor said

You are a new user, so to repeat a common suggestion

 1. test on a small sample first
  2. backup your library regularly and before you make major changes
 3. wash your hands before you eat.
