File Grinder is a handy tool for batch renaming, copying, and moving files. Apart from its batch functionality, it can rename files based on file templates and format meta-tags. For example you have amusic file named “If I Could Fly” which is the song from the artist Joe Satriani. In the file you only find the song name, but not the artist name. In this case you can use File Grinder, that can batch automate the process.
In File Grinder interface, you’ll find a Template Editor button, click on it. Then select the file type from the drop-down menu. In the above screenshot audio files has been selected. Now it will display all available templates. Double-click a template to add it, you are allowed to add as many templates as you want. You can choose the box present at right side, to save the template. This will help you when you will run a certain template multiple times.
After adding the template, click OK. Then click Add Files or Add Folder button on the main window, adn add your desired files. There are three operation modes like Rename, Copy, and Move. Choose your desired mode and hit the Process button. Hit Continue, in the Overview dialog window.
Wait for few minutes until the file processing is completed.
The above screenshot shows that my music collection has been renamed in order of artist, song title, and bitrate. File Grinder is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, and requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. You can download this freeware from here.
