File rename under iTunes
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2015 7:30 pm
Sorry for what is probably a Newbie question.
I want to rename my iTunes files so they don't follow iTunes' standards but my own so they display properly on other devices (simply as Artist - Songname). I'm happy with how Godfather proposes the rename based on my mp3 tags. Once I press "update" the files are accordingly renamed on disk also. However iTunes will then no longer find them unless manually pointed to one by one.
I thought Godfather would take care of updating the iTunes database - am I wrong or am I doing something wrong? (Windows 8 64 bit/ tried with iTunes 11 first and then updated to 12)
