How to bulk rename audio files so that the file name matches the title metadata (preferably using Foobar2000)?
Solution 1:
Foobar2000 has a special renaming tool designed specially for this kind of thing. I'm pretty sure it's installed by default.
Please follow these steps:
- Select the relevent album(s) (if using the library view) or the individual files (if using the playlist view)
- Right-click and choose File operations -> Rename to...
- For file name pattern, enter
%title%
(or use the...
button to select this) - Click Run
- Foobar2000 will do the renaming and show you the result
Solution 2:
It is very easy to do with Mp3tag.
Load the files in it, select them, then go to 'Convert' and select 'Tag-Filename', then edit the string according to what info you want to have in the file name (only the %title% if need be).
