I need to run a small script to simply rename files that are capitalized to having just each first letter of each word with a capital. For instance, with the following MP3 file I want to rename it from:

BILL WITHERS - LOVELY DAY.mp3

to

Bill Withers - Lovely Day.mp3

Please let me know where I can go online to figure this out, or how to do it.

Thanks!!

It's very versatile and I'd be surprised if there isn't a way to do it with that.

Bulk Rename Utility - Link (http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php)

Install it, open it up and open the directory with all the files you wish to rename.
On the right panel, highlight all files you wish renamed.
Now down below where all your renaming options are look for "Case (4)".
Click on the drop-down menu and select "Title".
Up top where all your file names are located you should see what the new file names will look like under "New Name".
If it's done correctly and you're satisfied hit the "Rename" button in the bottom right corner.
Done.

Edit: didn't see the post above mine.

Thanks, I will give yours a run as well. These will be useful in the near future as I start to tidy my hard drive.
