Cleaning up file names in Windows XP

[Lawlessness]

I am in the process of cleaning up my music library. It's over 60Gb and I would like to have it all in a uniform state.

I am not worried about editing the individual MP3 file names and ID3 tags, because I can edit those using iTunes or another program called MP3TagTools.

What I am having trouble with is cleaning up the file names of the folders which contain these MP3s.

The file names are all mostly in lowercase. I would like to have the first letter of every word in the file name be uppercase. I have been doing this manually, but it is slow and tedious. I wish there was a way of highlighting a bunch of files, right clicking and it saying "Clean Up File Names" Presto. Done. All the file names keep the individual text just with a standardized, uniform format.

For Example...
Before
X rolling stones- greatest hits
X Johnny cash- Lake of Fire
X JOHN DENVER- SILLY BOOGIE

After
X Rolling Stones- Greatest Hits
X Gary Newman- Lake Of Fire
X John Denver- Silly Boogie


Thought I'd ask...

I use a file called MP3FE which you can get here. It'll do what you want. I have over 65,000 songs ... I can tell ya it works pretty good.

Will this program let me edit the names of folders or just the files?
And how?

I've dropped a folder with the sub-folders with which I wanted to edit the names of and the only things I see are the actual files.

Again, I'm looking to edit the folder names that contain the files. Not the actual files.

I hope I'm not asking too much and I hope I'm making myself understood.

Thanks guys.
Luis
