How to rename using list of words

Postby legacybeats » Tue Sep 24, 2024 1:17 am

Hi, I'm looking to rename some audio files and add a different word to the end of each of them. For example, I have a list of words, and each word is added to the end of a different audio file.

So instead of music 1, music 2, music 3, the files would be renamed Music 1 happy, Music 2 random, music 3 taken. Those extra words are all in a document or spreadsheet. Is there a way to do this?

How about the Rename Pairs feature?

Code: Select all
Renaming From A Text File

With Bulk Rename Utility it is possible to rename files according to a text file. The text file should contain a list of "old name" and "new name" pairs, separated by a pipe symbol ( | ) or a comma ( , ). Bulk Rename Utility will read ANSI and Unicode (UTF-16) text files. Starting from version 3.5, Bulk Rename Utility can also read UTF-8 encoded files, e.g. CSV files from Excel.

To use this facility, create a text file in for the correct format, for example:


Track001.mp3|Headlong.mp3
Track002.mp3|Rushes.mp3
TRACK003.mp3|AnywhereIs.mp3

or use comma separated (CSV)

Track001.mp3,Headlong.mp3
Track002.mp3,Rushes.mp3
TRACK003.mp3,AnywhereIs.mp3

One entry per line.
