iTunes 2 filenames
Authored by: shacker on Oct 24, '01 12:06:10AM

Weird that the iTunes 2 page doesn't mention anything about offering filenaming convention options during encoding. That's my single biggest gripe with it, that it doesn't let you create nice, long, descriptive filenames. Argh! Drives me crazy. Anyone know of a good Carbon utility that will let you drop an MP3 folder, parse it for ID3 tags, and rename files on a custom naming convention?

MP3 Rage: http://www.chaoticsoftware.com/ProductPages/MP3Rage.html

quoting from their page:

"MP3 Rage is the definitive collection of tools for MP3 enthusiasts. You can search for and download thousands of MP3's from the Internet using the Napster(tm) music sharing system and the Gnutella file sharing system, edit ID3 tags, analyze MP3's and adjust their sound volume automatically to play at similar levels, export MP3 files to AIFF format for burning CD's, play MP3 files, catalog, organize, rename, find, and change thousands of MP3 files and their ID3 tags quickly and painlessly. It does all this with a clean, powerful, and easy-to-use interface."

Or you can go the free route and check out this AppleScript I hacked together.
It's worked in every case of mine... http://homepage.mac.com/zsmestad/applescripts.html
It may take some scripting to get the file names in whatever format.
