A Python3 program that renames all selected music/audio files in a folder with a specified naming convention. Names are generated from the metadata (ID3) from the audio files. Before using this program, use a metadata editor like MusicBrainz Picard, Beets or EasyTAG to add the correct metadata to the audio files.

Features

Rename many audio files at once
Rename all files in subdirectories as well (recursive)
Choose the naming convention (ex. track.title.flac or artist.track.year.mp3)
Give a separator for the naming of the file (ex. track.title.flac or track_title.flac)
Works on all systems that can run Python
Supported audio formats
- MP3/MP2/MP1 (ID3 v1, v1.1, v2.2, v2.3+)
- Wave/RIFF
- OGG
- OPUS
- FLAC
- WMA
- MP4/M4A/M4B/M4R/M4V/ALAC/AAX/AAXC
- AIFF/AIFF-C
