Bulk Rename Ulitity can also let you to enable the option to mass rename the file extension of the files. The powerful part of Bulk Rename Utility is it supports the use or regular expression to rename files. This allows you to enter a flexible Match expression, and a flexible Replacement expression, and the program will generate the appropriate name using these expressions. For example, you can use RegExp strings to swap two words in a filename, or remove numbers, or apply fixed formatting.

With Bulk Rename Utility, it is possible to rename files according to a text-file. The text file should contain a list of “old name” and “new name” pairs, separated by a pipe symbol ( | ).

To use this facility, create a text file in for the correct format, for example:

Track001.mp3|Headlong.mp3
Track002.mp3|Rushes.mp3
TRACK003.mp3|AnywhereIs.mp3

As you see, there is one entry per line.

Next, click the Import Rename-Pairs option on the File menu and load your file. If the file is valid then you will see the “new name” column reflecting the contents of the text file.

When comparing the current filename with the text file the application ignores the case of the filename, e.g. it will happily match Track001.mp3 and TRACK001.mp3. This makes it easy to rename the files.
