I allowed windows media player to update my songs. I was just hoping it would correct any mistakes that I made while labeling them. Well, it did more than that. For about 3 years I did not have the net at home and during that time I collected a huge stash of music. So I named them what I thought the names were. I thought by allowing media player to update the songs it would correct any mistake that I made with the artists name, title, etc etc. It rename them all, but added 01, 02, before the names ! This would take me at least 3 or more hours to rename them again. (deleting all of the 01, 02, 03...). Is there a faster way to do this? I have tried google and come up empty handed. please help:)
thanks

trevelian2, hiya. It does sound like WMP added the track number to the filename. You could probably change the format of the filename to not include the track number. Tell me this:

* what version of WMP do you have?
* what operation did you perform to make it change the names?
