PS I was surprised how fast the program renamed all the files, I had to actually look in explorer to verify that the names changed.

Have a great day.

I think I was going to mention that MP3 formats were invented by someone in Germany. Anyone who creates something beneficial to all brings great credit to their nation, whatever it may be, because that is what makes a nation -- the people in it. It is that spirit of imagination that brought us the f...

OK, thanks, it is a nice program, and there is some detail in it that I probably haven't explored yet. I had the opportunity to visit Germany a few years ago, and and for the most part it was a pleasant experience. Perhaps that is all I meant by my compliment (without going too deep into that end of...

AWESOME -- IT WORKS WONDERFULLY! THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! Once I selected (made them "blue") all the directories in the main viewing area it worked wonderfully (otherwise the menu option is greyed out). No wonder Germany is such a beautiful place, it has wonderful people. Thanks again.

Hey Fantastic - I will check it out. I'll get back to you and tell you what I think.

For example if you get a bunch of mot_rhead _ whatever_it_is.mp3 in your directories it would be a snap to just replace "Mot_rhead" with "Motorhead" in all the file names as an additional step with your file renaming since it would be doubtful any other files would share that com...

I don't think there are too many bands that start with the name motorhead, so I think you'll be pretty safe here. The big concern of mine is that hard disks emulate the rocker life style, they burn out rather than fade away. SO it would really stink to find out later that half of your mp3 collection...

Those options would be nice too. I just wanted a simple tool to get rid of the nonstandard characters. That way I don't have to specify what I want to replace each character with. I think a lot of people just use these characters because they think they look cool, not because they are necessary. Che...

Actually I've seen people put ASCII extended characters into file names, and MP3 tag fields. So you really want to just throw out anything that is not alphabetic or numeric, except for spaces or an underline. Trying to right a script that would throw out all these "illegal characters" is p...

Some people like to put fancy brackets and punctuation marks in their MP3 tag names, which is a real time waster if you have to sit there and rename a bunch of files to manually remove these illegal characters. I would like a feature where you simply point to a directory, click one button, and all n...
