Modifying Track Titles in ITunes for XP
When I rename a track to a different title, what settings do I need to
change so that when I change the track title in the user interface,
ITunes will automatically modify the actual filename on the hard
drive?


The other issue is, I have 200+ tracks (only a portion of my
collection) that have track, song, artist and album info, but would
like to rename these track filenames to have the following naming
convention:
<TrackNum>-<SongTitle>-<ArtistName>-<AlbumTitle>
("TrackNum" is the number corresponding to the track number as it
appears on the original CD)

Is there a way to rename these 200+ in a bulk format using the above
naming convention?

Thanks.

About 90% of my library are .mp3 files. I have approx. 10k files.
Another couple hundred are .wav files (sound effects library)

On another note, I have about 30 tracks I bought from ITunes (which I
am having trouble burning to CD; I used to be able to burn them, but
cannot now, due to some limitation. Wondering if this limitation is
due to the fact that I bought them from ITunes instead of Amazon (?)

To re tag mp3's :

http://www.id3.org/

or Google, there are many tag editors, see answer 4 messagez above.. Batch
work - well if you want to change each one to give an individual name, then
batch work is out ...... !

For wav file, just go ito Windows Explorer, select teh file and change its
title.

What limitation ? Be more specific. Are they AAC files ? If so, Google for
software and change them to wav files.

Cheers,
Jerry
