I would like to convert the following filename:  
2005-07-06-Artist64k CF.mp3 to  
Artist - 07-06-2005.mp3.

I have tried actions with replace with regular expressions with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Regular Expression:

```
(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(.*?)\d.*\.mp3

```

Replace matches with:

```
$4 - $3-$2-$1.mp3

```

Limited to files with .mp3 extension.
