I use Name mangler and have no idea how to use it other than with the find & replace, and I would like to use wild cards to identify lists of files that are numerically listed, so it would be easier for me to use wildcards rather than write/use a droplet.

We are looking for a script for iTunes on windows XP.
Something that will allow us to rename the media files on disk from the info in iTunes. And if possible the Artist and Album names aswell.
Since we choose for .wav files we don't have an option for metadata included in the file. Now, we were wondering if we would use the Broadcast Wave format that includes metadata in the file. My guess is that iTunes doesn't support BWF?
On the mac side i suppose there is something like this from [URL]
So in windows I can create a file list, save it to a text file, and create a .bat file with rename commands for each file. for example:
Rename 000055-060409232023-CAM1.jpg cal000image0000055.jpg
Rename 000056-060409232020-CAM1.jpg cal000image0000056.jpg
Rename 000057-060409232016-CAM1.jpg cal000image0000057.jpg

how do I create a file list and then create a way to batch rename in os x? I know the commands, but I don't know of a way to do it on more than one file at a time. I have found a few renaming apps but they all appear to be focused on just iterating up instead of renaming specific files to a new name.

When in Cover Flow view in Finder, try renaming a file when the thumbnails are being generated. It'll highlight the file name, then unselect it. Only way to successfully rename something is to wait till all the thumbnails are generated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm just wondering if there is any way to specify some kind of wildcard/regex for a keychain entry, so that instead of having an entry for [URL] and one for [uRL] and one for [URL], I could have a single [URL] or something similar? I've googled for more information on the keychain quite a bit but haven't been able to find anything useful.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a large collection of MP3s that were ripped on a Windows PC and I want to add them to my iTunes library on my Mac. The problem is there is either no meta data for the files or the info that is there is wrong or badly formatted. The collection is organized with each album in its own folder, so I am able to tell what is what. Is there a program for OS X that would allow me to dump an album into it and rename all of the files and set meta data according to a certain format and get this track info from Amazon, Gracenote, or similar? Also, I would like to set the album art for each track.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a whole bunch of photos in various subfolders. Some of these photos have the same relative name (ie same file name but in different folders).
I would like to rename all these files like 000001.ext, 000002.ext etc, independently of file location so I can copy all the files back to one single folder (I can handle that bit in Terminal). There are many sub-folders so I need something recursive.
I've tried Renamer4Mac, but it isn't recursive. Does anyone know of a different app that would work, or even a terminal command/script/binary that would do the trick?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I have a compilation album, I like to keep it all as one album in iTunes and especially on my iPod. Traditionally I would copy the artist name into the song name, so it was "Artist - Song" and then change the artist name to the name of the compilation. That way, on my Ipod, I would scroll through artists, get to the compilation and play it all from there, meaning I wouldn't have a whole load of new artists, each with one song.
However, I just got a 6 CD compilation album.. 150 or so tracks. I don't want to individually rename every song this time, but I want it all to be under one Artist in iTunes (preferably). Is there any way to maybe select all of them and switch the artist for the album artist? Or is there another way to do all this that would allow me to have it all appear as one artist, but not have to rename each track individually?
I just found some third-party GarageBand loops and put them in my library. I didn't rename them before I added them and now they appear in lowercase with underscores between words. How do I rename them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI renamed iCal cuz I was bored. Then I changed it back to iCal. Then I dragged it onto the dock. While the application wasn't running, for some reason, it looked like this. It obviously does that because the date changes, but the calendar pic doesn't. When the application is running, it looks like normal. And when I quit it, it goes back to the weird looking icon.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDear fellow Applephiles, I'm looking for a fast, efficient way (via an Automator Workflow for example) to do the following: Rename sequentially several files in certain folders so that their names end up being: "folder_name xx" e.g. I have 2 folders called Anne's Birthday, Berlin Vacation, and 2008 Prom with several JPEGs called "DSCxxxxxx" within them.
I want the files within each folder to be named: "Anne's Birthday 1", "Anne's Birthday 2", "Anne's Birthday 3", etc. instead of "DSCxxxxxx","Berlin Vacation 1", "Berlin Vacation 2", "Berlin Vacation 3", etc. and "2008 Prom 1", "2008 Prom 2", "2008 Prom 3", etc. and thus for each respective folder. By using a workflow.I truly hope it's just my being slow with Automator (or Mac OS X in general) the obstacle for accomplishing this.
In iTunes I manage my music manually. Sometimes I need to change a song's file name because something was spelled incorrectly. To change a song's file name I rename it in Finder. iTunes is running the background. Now here's the catch: After renaming a file I check whether iTunes detected its new location (CMD+I for "Get Info"). Mostly iTunes DOES recognize the new file path, but sometimes it doesn't. What helps iTunes detecting the new location? I really can't see a pattern in iTunes' behavior.

I've only realized there is no option to rename a folder on a mac right click menu. You either have to double click it slowly, press enter or right click then "Get Info". It is probably actually easier on PC to rename folders

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy Mac keep renaming itself by adding a (2) to the sharing name.I have 3 Macs on on a network (no Windows) and this happens after the Macs wake from sleep.Each Mac has a unique name and each time I take off the (2) or whatever number it has added to the name, it happens again randomly later.I think part of the problem is each Mac connects to the network via Ethernet and wifi.I need Ethernet for speed, but Apple's "Find my Mac" feature only works with wifi so I need that on too.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've been removing a bunch of bloat from the iTunes library, and one of the things I did was transcode my 10 GB or so of lossless audio to 256 kbps VBR, then delete the lossless files. The problem is that since the transcode creates new copies of the audio files, I ended up with
10 The Mariner's Revenge Song.m4a
10 The Mariner's Revenge Song 1.m4a
Once the transcode was complete, I deleted all of the original lossless files from library and my computer, but I can't get rid of the 1 on the end of the remaining filenames. I seem to remember File -> Library -> Consolidate Library to have worked on an earlier version of iTunes, but it doesn't seem to do anything now. My library is set to keep things organized, but that doesn't seem to be working for files already in the library.
