well, I was facing the daunting task of renaming massive numbers of files (specifically my mp3 library) and I hit upon an idea that I used to use in windows: using an archive program to store the media files in (no compression) and then append the proper extenuation after the file was made. the program in this case is tar (Tape Archiver). after I get done using tar to create the storage file, I erase the mp3's involved and then rename the file with the new .mp3 extenuation. VIOLA! playable mp3 file that even works in itunes!
sometimes the old tricks are still the best. this little trick not only cuts down the number of files in my library, but it makes it easier to copy them to my various devices for playback. -eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
