One of the frustrations with using iTunes is that it has poor support for many non-iPod MP3 players. Although I use iTunes on my computer, when I drag-and-drop music files onto my player (mounted as a hard drive) the iTunes naming convention leaves my music pitiful organized. E.g., "%n %t".

MP3 Rename fixes that (and apparently does much more than I really need), and does it quickly and well.

With one exception: if the track name (or album name) of a track has an illegal character, MP3 Rename will try to use it and fail while renaming that particular track. Since a significant number of albums have bad characters in their names (e.g., the colon in "Stay Awake: Music from Vintage Disney Films" or the query in "What is Beat?") this happens often enough to be annoying.

The desired fix might be a triplet of options: "Illegal characters: [ ] Fail, [ ] Remove, [ ] Smart Substitution".

Since that is the only flaw I experienced, I give the software four stars. Keep in mind, it might be a swooningly delicious program if you need one of the features I ignored, or an exercise in sadistic frustration if you need a feature I ignored and it works poorly.
