A few pointers (just some constructive criticism). I haven't yet tried your
program; I'm unfamiliar with Pascal.
a) when packaging a program, package it such that it extracts into its own
folder and not into the current directory (this can be annoying if you don't
list the directory before un-taring.
b) distribute only the source in a .tar.gz file. Binaries should be
distributed in distribution-specific packages
c) I don't run binaries downloaded from an untrusted site (like yousendit) -
and neither should anybody else. You have no way of knowing whether you can
trust that content.
d) I'm unfamiliar with 'Lazarus' (which I think is the IDE you used?) -
Distribute software with a Makefile (the standard way) or with, say, a link
to the site of the IDE's documentation where we can figure out how to build
the source -- Because like I said, I won't run the untrusted binaries; and
I'd like the chance to review the source before running it.
That said, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just write a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
index=1
for file in *.mp3 ## You could substitute the command arguments here,
instead.
do
mv $file $index-$file
((index += 1))
done
