Thread: files to Audio mp3's

You could try a batch file, something like

Code:

rename *.* *.mp3

Depends on where your files are and if there are other files present in the same directory. I'm also pretty certain if you create a batch file and drag and drop the files you want to rename on the batch file icon it'll change those only. You'd have to move the batch file to every directory you want to change.

You can also add paths to the file criteria, which would change the files in multiple directories.

More information will be needed...

Looking at your screen grab you'll have to modify the batch file to include opening and closing quotes etc to get it to work.

You have got show file extension turned on for that directory? (It pays to check)

BTW, is that Set Me Free by the Sweet?

all the songs that need changing are in one folder, there ARE complete working song files in the same folder, but easily sorted and removed if necessary.

I have NO batch file experience,,

file extension turned on for that folder.

The Sweet? naw,, this ones by The Kinks

In the command window, do a directory listing and write it to file.
Use that file to create your batch file. Post it up and I'm sure someone will be able to write the batch file for you.

Or you could use ZTG (Z-Tree Gold).

yea,, ZTG looks fun,,,

Well, I won't recommend that other package I use that is brilliant at making batch files.

Well, did you do that directory listing and write it to a text file? Are you going to post it up?

Hint: it's the DIR command with a few switches set.

dir /b > list.txt

its telling me access is denied,,

You have other issues then.

When you open the command window, do you change to the directory where the files are using the CD command?
