Renaming a collection of files?

[stockhausen]

Does anyone know of a way of renaming a selection of files, along the lines of:

REN Track*.MP3 CD1*.MP3​

or

MV Track*.MP3 CD1*.MP3​

I suspect that someone may have ported some UNIX commands to Windows but haven't been able to find anything useful with Google.

ant renamer I find very useful

cygwin probably has a rename function in there somewhere.

I quite like Flash Renamer by RL Vision. Shareware but if you only need it a couple of times you'll be fine.

As above - if you're used to Unix commands, Cygwin's your winner

ReNamer. Once you've used this powerful tool, you won't want to use anything else.

Ant renamer lets you edit large numbers of files simultaneously, with either one or many sequential renaming operations, including support for audio metadata (which it looks like den4b doesn't)
Don't know about cygwin - it looks quite complex, but that probably means it does absolutely everything!
