Greetings all,
Does anyone know of a tagging/renaming tool for the mac that will name files based on Artist and track title? I just finished downloading bunches of my music in better quality from iTunes match, but they aren’t named correctly. For instance, “Unwound” from George Strait just says, 01 Unwound. I want it to say, “George Strait - 01 - Unwound”
Also, I have lots of billboard hits that have perfect tagging. Again though, it just says, track number followed by title. I want artist, Track num, then title. It's obvious that I don't want to have to spend hours naming everything by hand. Is there any way to achieve this? Just in case there may be confusion, I don’t need to write the ID tags for the tracks, I want to name the files based on the tags. Thanks.

I Wish
One thing I miss from the days I used Windows Media Player, is the ability to set this in the software. You could tell WMP what to name the files based on a selection of fields and I think even the order. If you find something, I hope there's a Windows counterpart I can use for those times when I want to export files, with something more helpful than the short file names.
I'll try to help
What you're looking for is an app that will rename files based on ID3 tags.
I just tried a Google search, and I found a number of apps for both Mac and Windows that claim to be able to do this, but I have never used any of them myself. I tried downloading a couple of free ones on my Mac, but the ones I tried were inaccessible. There are others, though, so if you want to try your luck, you might try searching yourself.
