Enjoy the holidays folks
I download a lot of "old time radio" shows (aka OTR) through Internet Archive and from iTunes podcasts. These come in as mp3 files which I export to iTunes. A lot of the time the "song name" (read "that shows's episode name") and the file name do not match.
For instance:
1. I download two tracks of a show called "The Brooklynguy Adventures".
2. The Finder track names and extensions are thebrooklynguyadventures_001.mp3 and thebrooklynguyadventures_002.mp3 (usually a lot longer of a name but still numbered consecutively).
3. The track names in iTunes are "The Kitty With Ten Lives Affair" and "The Doggy Do Affair".
4. I want to rename the files to match the iTunes' track names.
5. Normally I might have hundreds of tracks for a specific show. Very timely to do this one at a time.
Finder will not do this but iTunes should be able to, possibly through a script or Automator? The complete opposite of Doug's Filenames to Song Names script?
Any thoughts or ways to do this would be very helpful.
