How to rename audio files for consistency in Music app?
Hello friends
I have renamed many files for consistency, most recently by removing the first 3 text digits of file names and moving the files to different folders/albums, manually (not within Music). When I import them into Music, the first 3 digits return, and some of the files do not show up in the correct folder/album.
To try to fix this, I moved all the files for that artist to a different location, opened Music and deleted all those files from Music, and imported them from their new location. That fixed most of the album issues, but the actual files names are back with the first 3 digits which I had deleted. Oddly enough, Music shows the Title without those 3 digits, but Cntl/I > file shows the file name with the 3 digits.
My question:
How do I manage audio files so *I* determine the Title matches the actual file name, and they show up in the Music folder/Album I want them to be in?
All the best
