How to rename bulk title tag in mp3 ID3 files

batch-renamemp3

I have a few folders containing mp3 files (folder names CD#1 CD#2) with a few files in each folder. I renamed the Album name and changed the track number so my ipod should store it as one long Audiobook. But the title name is messed up, I want to rename the title so that it should display Track 1, Track 2 etc. I tried using mp3tag but was unsuccessful creating a dynamic title name (i.e that each file should have the next number Track 1, Track 2). Any way that I can do it.

If you already have the proper track numbers you can try a hack with EasyTAG: first, rename the files to include the track number then read the track number into the title field by treating it as an element of the title.

In particular: use the renaming pattern Track %n and then read back using the pattern %t.

Back up your files before experimenting with this solution!
