iTunes question

[Canyarion]

A lot of my MP3s have silly names like '03Philcollins__waytoheaven' or 'Paul van Dijk ft'.

I want all my MP3s to be like this: 'Phil Collins - Something Happened On The Way To Heaven' and 'Paul van Dijk - We Are Alive'.

Is there a way iTunes (or another program) can do this?? This will be so much easier when I burn MP3 CDs.

Thanks.

As far as I know, if the song doesn't have an ID tag already, and that's what it says, you'll have to go in and rename all the songs manually.

It's a bitch of a job.

dunno bout itunes. but Musicmatch can look up titles based what what its named and try ti give you what i thinks it is. you'd prolly have to double check each but it might be a bit faster.


i always tell people to start naming them correctlly when they dont have many. because if they dont they're regret it later on in the collection. ;p

if you have the ID tags correct, i know musicmatch will zip tho them an name em all. or if you have the names right it'll zip thro and tag them for you.

Aah...... All my ID tags (?) are correct, so Musicmatch can rename the files? I'll have to try that.
Problem is that iTunes will probably forget all the play records because I changed the files.

itunes might be able to rename files from id tags also. not sure.

If those files are illegally downloaded I don't think iTunes can.
