De-sceneing folder & file names
I have a bunch of folder named like this:
DJ_Shah_Meets_Jan_Johnston-Beautiful-Vinyl-2006-POW
and files named like this:
03-dj_shah_meets_jan_johnston-beautiful__high_noon_at_salinas_mix-vinyl-pow.mp3
Is there any way I can automatically convert these to a format like Artist - Date - Album (Extra Info) [Media Type]\## - Title (Mix Info).mp3 ??
The tags are all truncated ID3v1 tags, so I can't just rename the files from the tags. Also, the Album fields in the tags are often non-existant or have pointless info like the release group name. If anyone can help me out with this, thanks very much. BTW, as different scene groups have different conventions, it may not be possible to use a file renamer to parse all folder names the same way. Now, I may be able to revise this easily if that scene release group name was removed from the folder & file names.
Thanks very much...

Look for a utility called G6 Renamer I believe. Its been a while but if I remember right, it was created by a fellow TA and in my experience, was one of the best batch renaming tools I have ever come across.

Oh please. What if your own CD ripper screwed up the file/folder names this bad (I have seen some crazy default settings before) and you already did like 100 discs?

This is probably the last place you would want to ask how to 'de-scene' your downloaded mp3s. You should have just been more generic with your renaming example, rather than paste an obvious pirated release.

Yes, but the filename he pasted was clearly pirated.

Yea, but the ID3 tags are clean. Plus, can't you define how it autonames your file in your profile settings?
