Métamorphose File -n- Folder Renamer is a free, open source mass renaming program that combines great flexability with an intuitive interface. Allows most command line renaming operations in a single utility, perfect for those of us that need to rename large numbers of files and/or folders on a regular basis. However, the ease of the interface ensures a one-time user (I need to rename 5 gigs of mp3's) will not find it frustrating to use.

Features :

• Renames files and folders at the same time.
• Preview every item to be renamed before comiting changes.
• Load all files in directory and in subdirectories (recursive renaming).
• Undo renaming operation in case of mistakes.
• Save all program settings to file for later use!
• Renaming styles: combination of: user text, numbering, id3 tags, date, time.
• Modifications: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Capitalize first, Title Style, sWAP cASE, 'DoRkIfY'
• Sequential numbering (enumerating) options: use integers, alphabetical, or roman numerals pad with any valid character to any width.(integers only) Control step size, starting number, reset count.
• Rename MP3 files according to their ID3 tags.
• Set date and time manually or get from system.
• Use supplied defaults or specify your own date and time formats.
• Modular design allows great flexability and control, while keeping the easy stuff simple.

• Prefix
• Suffix
• Set file extension.
• Replacement or modification by: Character, position, or regular expression.
• Insertion by: Position or every (number) characters.
• Length modifications (padding, truncating, or both).

Insert numbering sequence at begining of existing filename:
Check the prefix box. Click on the numbering button at top of panel. You should now have the text '?numb?' in the prefix box.

Rename MP3 file like so: number_title:
Check the Search box. Leave blank the field Text (blank for all). On the top of the panel, select track from the dropdown menu next to the id3 button. Click the id3 button, the text '?track?' should appear in the Replace with (blank to delete): field. Click the field, and enter in '_', then select title from the id3 dropdown menu, and click the id3 button again. The field should now look like this: '?track?_?title?'. Alternatively you could use numbering instead of getting the track number from the file.
