I've used this program for years, by far the best.
I use it to change the info on MP3 + CDG files but have to manually go into the CDG file to rename it, is there a way to include the CDG file while file renaming by acripting or other, it would be awesome to have the ability to work on these files together, theres lots of Karaoke people out there who like me would love this function.

Maybe this topic can help you:

> Hi Florian, I work with lots of karaoke files. .mp3 and .cdg I was the one who suggested mp3tag renamed the .cdg as well as the .mp3 This has helped me lots over the years. I now want to move large quantities of files from one folder to another. When I select the files, mp3tag moves the .mp3 but does not move the .cdg file. Could this be implemented please? Thank you, Lee.
Are you sure, that the CDG-rename function isn't already there:

> IIRC, CDG files don't have tags but are associated with an MP3 file which has the same name as the CDG file (except for the file extension). Mp3tag already renames corresponding CDG files automatically while renaming MP3 files.
And this should also work for WMA and CDG:

Just tested and it works:
To refresh the File List entries, I just pressed F5 after renaming the \*.mp3 and the \*.cdg was renamed automatically.

And also for FLAC:

Yep, you are right:
The new adjusted test AniGif for FLAC, MP3 and WMA and \*.cdg files.
After pressing F5 we can see the automatically renamed \*.cdg for the 3 formats.

Just for the record:
The automatic renaming function also works for \*.lrc files (together with MP3 and FLAC):
