<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577342 by <a href="/recipes/users/2608421/">Stephen Chappell</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/rename/">rename</a>). </p> <p>A friend was trying to open files with Korean names and was finding that Windows 7 was giving him errors. There were well over 22,000 files to deal with, and he did not want to rename them all individually. As a result, this program was quickly written to help him in renaming his vast assortment of files and folders so that he could easily open them in his resource viewer application.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Sometimes it is important to save data in the file but the file with the specified name already exists. This function creates a file name that is similar to the original by adding a unique numeric suffix. This avoids the renaming of existing files.</p>

Revision 5. </p> <p>Rename MP3 files in the current folder according to ID3 tags. This is based on Ned Batchelder's id3reader class. I only added the code in the <code>__main__</code> method.</p> <ul> <li>When run without arguments, the script renames the files in the current folder. The directory can be specified explicitly as the first argument.</li> <li>The files do not need to necessarily have the <code>MP3</code> extension.</li> <li>To move the files to directories based on album name use the <code>-d</code> switch.</li> <li>Does not work with other file types, such as OGG, M4A, MP4, etc.</li> <li>This is a quick and dirty script that works for me most of the times. If you need more power, try mutagen, picard, mp3tag or something similar.</li> </ul>
