"Evidently Some People Here Don't Know How To Use This Program"
Pros: I've had this program for a few months now. I had about 700 mp3's whose titles were incomplete (Just song titles -- no artist). Luckily the tags indicated the Artist and Track Title. It renamed all 700 in less than 5 seconds. And you can configure the renaming template any way you want.
So as long as your tags are intact, FSU recognizes them and renames them. Insofar as installing it: it was a snap. Evidently some people here don't know how to extract their files. I now have an icon on my desktop and one in my Quicklaunch.
Plus, it's a very small program. It doesn't eat up your hard drive.
Cons: Unless I'm missing something, tagging isn't as intuitive as it is with other tagging programs. But that's a negligible drawback considering the myriad benefits.

In haste, I had written a caveat regarding this program. I've since discovered my concerns were unfounded. To the Download.com admins: please delete my reply to my own thread. My original review still stands.

While I'm quite happy with this program, the one MAJOR drawback (and it's a BIG one) is that if your artist and title tags are not intact -- ie. properly tagged -- you'll lose your files.
(TIP: If you're using FSU and it tells you that "(something) Already Exists! Do You Want To Replace It?") SAY NO! Don't cancel, otherwise it will somehow delete the file and you won't be able to recover it (it won't me moved to the Recycle Bin). I learned this the hard way with hundreds of files. :~o(
