Hello, I believe your merging example will work with Finder prompting every time there is a conflict. In terms of the rename that sounds like something you are doing fairly regularly, if so then a shortcut probably makes sense. It could be fairly easy create a folder automation that would take folders added to it, rename them with a date and then re-encode them into mp3. Let me know if you are interested in doing this. Of course, you could also set up some bash aliases that could do something like this in terminal.
for f in q.* get the extension of f and run mv q.ext new name.ext end for Would be your basic structure, I can't remember all the syntax without looking it up but it really would be just 4 lines of code unless you wanted to traverse a directory and do the command.
