you can do that in perl, bash, etc, but here's a quick and dirty using php
mp3_rename.php
------------------ cut the code here -------------------------
<?php
$handle=opendir('/home/gbriones/mp3');
while (false!==($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
$newfile = str_replace("%20", " ", $file);
if(rename ($file, $newfile))
echo "$file renamed to $newfile...\n";
}
}
closedir($handle);
?>
------------------ cut the code here -------------------------
at the shell prompt type
shell> php /file_path/mp3_rename.php
* you must have php installed
HTH

Hello Plugers,
I have lot's of mp3 files that has this format
Mr.%20Big%20-%20Just%20Take%20My%20Heart.mp3
what I did to rename this file in a more readable form is this
$ mv Mr.%20Big%20-%20Just%20Take%20My%20Heart.mp3 "Mr. Big - Just Take My
Heart.mp3"
But you dont want to do that if you have thousands of files.
I know that a script can do this but I don't know how to do it.
Can somebody please enlighten me on this?
