AppleScript to rename the disk files of the selected songs on iTunes, based on the song info such as Artist and Album name. The user can choose a default filename format or make its own. All the renames attempted are logged for user inspection. It also can remove blank spaces and symbols from the filename.
- Free / Open Source AppleScript (Mac only)
- See installation instructions
- See source code (GitHub)
Note: Make sure you have disabled the "Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option. So iTunes won't try to rename your files automatically.
