You could also try using PowerShell, a powerful Windows command line tool. You’d run this command:
Open the CMD and go to the file location
then
Enter “PowerShell”
Full Command:
get-childitem *.mp3 | foreach { rename-item $_ $_.Name.Replace("Radiohead -", "") }
Analyzing it:
get-childitem *.mp3This lists all files whose names end with
.mp3. They are then piped to the next command with the | operator.foreach { rename-item $_ $_.Name.Replace("Radiohead -", "") }This replaces all instances of
Radiohead - with nothing, denoted by "", effectively wiping the word from all the files in the directory.
You could also modify
get-childitem *.mp3 to get-childitem – that would rename all the files in the directory, not just files whose names end with .mp3.
