As always, thanks Florian for a tip-top program. The only problem is that MP3Tag really feeds my OCD habit... 🙂

Anyway, I would like to change all JPGs on my PC to jpgs.

I've added jpg as an extension that MP3Tag 'cares about'.

Where do I tell it not to ignore extensions in general?

Thanks,

Richard

I understand, that you want to use Mp3tag to change the file extension of non music files from upper case to lower case.

Basically you should do such task with a dedicated file manager, for example Total Commander.  
But you can try Mp3tag's action "Replace using Regular Expression" on the pseudo tag-field \_FILENAME and see how it works.

Vielen danke - that sorted it.

I think I was making things more complicated than I needed to.

Cheers,

Richard
