I am transferring wave files from PC to an Akai hardware sampler. Its ancient (2007) and can only handle 16 character filenanes plus '.wav'.
I have thousands of samples which are all too long and there are over a hundred folders - I am not going to customize renaming for each folder.
Each folder has files which all have identical starting characters, but the length of that indentical part varies from folder to folder. How can I rename the files to be no more than 16 chars long and contain the last part of the filename? And I want to do the entire subfolder tree in one go, not folder by folder.
