As per topic, I'm looking for a script that renames .CUE and .LOG files using the tags from an album. My music collection is so big it would take forever to manually rename these files. I want to use the naming scheme: "00 - %album%.CUE" & "00 - %album%.LOG". Does anyone have something that can do this? Regards, Phixion ---

If your cue and log-files are situated in separate album-folders that have the name of the album-tag you can 1. Add \*.cue and \*.log to the list of restricted files in tools\options\tags 2. Filter the listed files by enterng "%\_extension% IS log OR %\_extension% IS cue". 3. Mark the now shown log and cue-files in the list-view. 4. Use the converter "Tag-Filename" and as a format string enter %\_directory% ---

Many thanks for this, great idea. I guess there is a way of getting just the album info out of the directory, as I originally wanted to name them like so: 00 - %album% But this method at least gives me something to work with, thanks again. ---
