Every once in a while a new tool comes out that is so indispensable that everyone should install it and make it part of their operating system experience. Rename-It! is one such product. Once installed, this utility makes itself part of the context menu in Windows. This means that you can go into Windows Explorer, highlight one or more files, right click and then select “Rename-It!” This action brings up a small pop-up window that then facilitates your renaming the group of files using search and replace rules. You can define as many rules as you want and the program shows you the impact that the rules will have on the selected files. Once you are satisfied, you can then select “Rename Files” and it renames the files according to your rules.
I have found this tool indispensable for renaming groups of media files. With MP3 files, you can create rules that rename the media files according to the ID Tags that are embedded within the files. These tags often have the correct artist, album and song information. Using this information you can rename your MP3 files so that they are self descriptive and easy to organize.
The best thing about this utility is the price. It is absolutely free. You can get your copy here: http://download.beroux.com/renameit-setup.exe
