Had a bug, been wanting a renamer that works just like this for awhile. My car stereo will play MP3’s off a CD, but it plays them alphabetically. Which means that the only way I can get them to play in the order I want is to prefix them with a value I want. This program does that. Here it is. Download it. Will be providing the very basic source code as well, soon. On GPL license and all that.
It does use a third party library (The extremely useful TagLib Sharp dll) to extract music file tag properties for use in prefixing the file with, say, the composer or the album or what have you. I also have a simple function in there that will randomize the files and number them accordingly. These are two features that I wasn’t able to find, along with the ability to store the freaking input and output directories in a config so I didn’t have to browse for them each time. This thing does all that. If you have an app that does that and you charge money for it, please, fuck off. If you do the same thing with your OSS app…again…you know what to do.
Download it right from here! Virus scan it, though. Wouldn’t want to be spreading some crap around.
