BATCH PROCESSING
The Change Name To field allows you to specify a name for the resulting file. The special sequence of
characters ‘%name’ will be replaced by the name of the currently processed file. Other usable special
sequences of characters are %title, %artist, %album and %year. These correspond to the contents of the
corresponding metadata fields. However, note that these fields can be empty if the sound being processes
contains no metadata.
The Filter Files setting allows you to enter a regular expression against which filenames will be checked.
Only files with partially matching filenames will be processed. Explaining in detail what regular expressions are goes beyond the scope of this manual. Information about the type of regular expressions used by

Examples of valid regular expressions in increasing order of sophistication are
Track Matches any filename containing ‘Track’.
\.mp[2-4] Matches any filename ending in ‘.mp2’, ‘.mp3’ or ‘.mp4’. (The ‘dot’ needs to be prefixed by a
backslash, otherwise it matches any character, so ‘.mp2’ would also match the file ‘Testmp2.mp3’.)
Track ([0-9]*) Matches any filename containing ‘Track N ’ where N is a number with arbitrarily many
digits and puts the number into a register. This register can then be used in the Change Name To field.
In this example, if we want to change the name to ‘Converted N ’, where N is the track number, we
