  1. Change Music File Names to Title Names en masse


    I recently took a bunch of music off an old iPod. All of the correct information is in the files Track name, Artist, Album but all the file names are a random array of letters. Is there a way to change all the file names to the Title on each file quickly? I have over 40 GB of music and won't be doing it all manually.

    :)

  2. name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

    Change Music File Names to Title Names en masse

    Music player requires title attribute for song name?

    Hi, I just transferred a set of music to my yellow Lumia 920. Some of the song names do not show up in Lumia music player, and i found the reason : for some of the files, the music file uses the attribute "title". For those files, the song name works (it's
    that "title"). But for some files, the title attribute is empty and there is just file name. For those, the song name does not show up (that is : Lumia does not use the file name as song name, but it requires the "title" attribute).



    Now my question : what would be the easiest way to overcome this. Either how to tell Lumia to use file name is title field is missing, or how to fast copy the file name to title field? Or something else.



    (I did not use Zune for file transmission but transerred the files by copy&paste method. I've got an old XP computer that do not quite understand modern devices like Lumia...;-)



    Thanks!

    Ari
