    "batch" file naming

    Not sure if that even makes sense,

    Basically i have 200 Mp3's that i need to have BBC at the end of the file name, is there a free program that can just add parts to file names or do i have to do each track by hand?

    Thanks

    rename 's/.mp3/BBC.mp3/' *

    except presumably you're running the wrong OS for things like that

    Open a command shell in the directory where your files are.
    Type
    Code:
    ren *.mp3 *.BBC.mp3
    Job done. Cost=free.

    This helpful powertoy from MS will add an 'Open Command Window here' option when you right-click on a folder.
