I'll try to explain this good....

So, when i download LEGALLY songs from LEGAL website and pay with REAL MONEY .... (just like everyone)......... ;)

My tracks are often named shitty, (yeah you too! god damn eh!) for example:

3412_songname_artist (original mix) w/e bullshit

I keep downloading LEGALLY from the same website. So the bullshit nameing is always the same... Thats why I want a simple program that could auto rename my file...

I KNOW HOW TO GOOGLE. Theres nothing good that would do my job like I want.

Things to consider:
I make sure that the FILE NAME is correct when i save the downloaded song, for example:

Knife Party - LRAD
or
Daft Punk - Get lucky

this format is ARTISTSpace(HYPHEN)SpaceTRACKNAME

The website i download from put the actual website in artist (so it would have to be replaced)

----
For better visual just right click on of your mp3 --> Properties ---> Details (that is how i would change it manually - or directly in programs like itunes (boo!))

The website i download from, gives me their website for ARTIST (bullshit!) and no official title for the track... So im looking for a metadataish renaming tool to fix that so i can use the track/artist sorting on my cellphone.

So i don't thnk its too hard to code according to the fact that the FILE NAME is always correct. Lets work from there.

You could put the first part before the hypen in Artist (till the hyphenSpace right, cause i may have an artist called Jean-Paul... make sense?)

And the part after hyphenSpace, would go into title (track title - not the file name! (obviously!))..

For the remixes like:

Laidback Luke Ft. Majestic - Pogo (Deorro Remix)

Pogo (Deorro Remix) would be fine as a track title (same goes for (Original mix))

Laidback Luke Ft. Majestic would be good for Artist


Bonus (optionnal)

In order of importance:

1. I would like the feat, ft. featuring to become ----> Ft. <----- (cap F + t + . )
2. Comments cleared in the metadata
3. Don't care about contribuating artist (just put the featuring in Artist)
4. Clear the image cover

So its nothing really hard, its just manipulation right!

PM ME if youre interested!

PS: I don't need a crazy interface either. Keep it simple stupid ;)

I use a piece of software called mp3 Tag Express (can edit multiple song details at once, even clear all properties in details etc) fast and efficient)

i use this for all my SONGS ;)

no need for making one

So i gave it a shot, the only missing thing is the main feature of my program, which would take parts of the file name and put artist and track title according to what is before and after the hyphen.
