Renaming files with number in file name
Imagine you have a list of files like file1.mp3, file2.mp3, … , file10.mp3, file11.mp3, e.g. files with number in file name, and you are trying to use these files, but for some reason program start reading them starting file10.mp3, not file1.mp3 as you expected!
This is because of different programs sort files in different way. How to prevent this problem? Just rename files and add “0″ before the digit, so the list will be file01.mp3, file02.mp3, … , file10.mp3. But for sure this task is time consuming.

1. Start program. Go to the “Step 1″ tab, select “Rename files and folders” option.
2. In folder(s) fields specify the location of your files.
3. Go to the “Step 2″ tab. In the “Name to find” specify ##FileNumber.## and in the “Replace with” specify ##FileNumber2##.
4. Click “Start Replace” – that’s all!
That’s easy!
If you have more files and want them to look like file001.mp3 or even file0001.mp3, you should replace “##FileNumber2##” with “##FileNumber3##” or “##FileNumber4##”
