Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This batch file renamer proves that free software doesn't necessarily have to cut corners. The interface is straightforward; every tool you'll need is accessible directly from the main menu. This program gives you detailed options for renaming files, letting you specify prefix, suffix, unique parameters, and extension. You also can find and replace any text string. Another useful feature is the ability to cut filenames. For better handling of your MP3 collection, File Renamer Basic can create filenames based on any combination of ID3 tags extracted from a file. We appreciated the ability to preview changes before they were made, and finding files by name or type was no problem thanks to a handy filtering tool. Because this free utility takes such a comprehensive approach to a simple concept, we have no problem recommending it to anyone who needs this type of functionality.Publisher's description
From Sherrod Computers :File Renamer Basic is a powerful and yet easy to use program that allows the user to rename files, folders, and MP3 files with ease. It has a filename filter so you can easily narrow down your search to only a specifc type of file or filename to work with. You can also remove x number of characters starting from x character and even find and replace text. In addition to its renaming capabilities, it also has a built-in ID3v1 and ID3v2 tag editor.
