Does anyone know if there's a way to make a quick change to ALL files in a folder?

Example: I have a folder with 20 songs in it. I want the "album name" to be the same for all files.

Thanks.

Batch converter.

You could try this method that works for photos.

Are you talking about the ID3 tags? If so, then I use this...

Or this useful app: http://www.id3renamer.com/
It renames the files to whatever the ID3 tags are, removes underscores etc.
I like the files to be in a readable format, ie: Artist - Title.

Beautiful! Thanks. I think I've got it figured out. Apparently, it was the ID3v2 tags that needed to be edited.

This is to fix the mess that was made of my music collection the other day when I lost my itunes library. Kind of a hassle, but fortunately, I think it'll be a lot cleaner when I'm done.
