Developer’s Description

By Johan Krüger

Rename and sort your MP3 files and edit their ID3 tags too.

From the developer: ""File Sorting Utility is speciallized for renaming and sorting mp3 files. But it can actually sort any kind of files. FSU reads and writes ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags and can create filenames based on these and a userdefined pattern. FSU can add/remove/fix ID3 tags to perfection for you. By fixing means that FSU figures out the artist, title, track, album... and puts them in ID3 tags. Some features: mass-tagging, built-in player, rename files directly in windows explorer.""

Quite Good; Sorts files very fast.
ThreecasterJuly 15, 2007
Pros
Simple to use (RTFM). Does what it says. Avoids creating multiple-deep directories for one obscure song. Very Speedy. (NOTE: I did *NOT* use this for ID tagging manipulations; just moving and sorting files.)
Cons
Does not deal well with corrupt files (well....whaddya want fer nuthuin?).<p>Would be nice to rename duplicate files when moving....(but...see above :p )
Summary
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. <p> <p>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. <p> <p>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.
Summary
Changed names and edited ID3 tags

Pros
Changed the name of multiple MP3 files and changes the ID3 tags all correctly. Small download, easy instal.
Cons
Very confusing .zip file. Has tons of files that seem not to be used. The instal does not work. You must open the file from the zip file always, unless you transfer every file yourself to your computer. <p> <p>Even the front page for this sorftware is messed up. Definitely a beginner program, not recommended for your file and ID3 editor.

Pros
I could not have asked for more from this program, I sorted 700 songs in a matter of seconds. It quickly sorted all my music into artist-title.mp3. It also does the Tagging for you.

Summary
From the name I was expecting a utility to sort the files on my mp3 player, so they get played in the right order. But it's more of a mass renaming utility. The author states the program can be used on any kind of file. Well allright then. Loaded up my mp3 player with wma files and changed the extension of the input/output patterns to '.wma'. Set off to rename the files. It renamed the files just fine, only the extension became '.mp3'. That's pretty bad. I didn't like the unfriendly user interface either. I can let the program copy, move or rename my files. Why, does it make any bit of difference to me how the result is achieved? Which one should I choose and why? Sorry to say I can't recommend this one.

Summary
When installing, it prompts you to replace two of you current DLL files with the older versions contained in the FSU install package. If you choose to keep your newer DLL files, it'll clash with Visual Basic Runtime, and the install won't proceed.
