I use the following routines in some mass rename scripts I wrote in Ruby

[http://zem.novylen.net/ruby/titlecase.rb](http://zem.novylen.net/ruby/titlecase.rb)

These routines implement "title case" per the Modern Language Association (full details in code comments). If you're not familiar with Ruby, I can help explain the code.

So for example, one could convert:

archers of loaf - all the nation's airports

-to-

Archers of Loaf - All the Nation's Airports

-rather than-

Archers Of Loaf - All The Nation's Airports

Thank you for the great product!

You can use regular expressions in Mp3tag, too. Have you tried that?

I have.. though I don't see how regex is going to perform intelligent title casing.

Isn't your script full of RegEx?

for example, to get small prepositions and articles you can use

RegEx:  
\s(The|Tha|Da|To|Of|By|For|From|A|An|As|And|At)(?= )  
Replace with:  
$lower($0)
