Let's suppose I have hundreds of songs and I have to add to the end of each filename " (Live)" e.g.; it looks or at least I wasn't able to find, that there isn't any feature that does it for all filenames at once.  
Similarly, when I have in a large amount of filenames a part, at the end of each filename, that is identical for all of them (e.g. "[[charlie.com](http://charlie.com)]"), to get rid of it I have to go each fileneme and delete it ...unless there's another short cut, but i wasn't able to find either.  
Any help is really appreciated!

You can use Convert\>filename-filename for this.

If you want to add something use  
%1  
as mask for the old filename and  
%1 live  
as mask for the new filename.

In the other case use the same converter but enter this time as old mask:  
%1 [[charlie.com](http://charlie.com)]  
and as new mask:  
%1

Actually, you should not mess around with the filenames but fill the tags properly and generate filename from the tags - just a personal comment.
