Windows Forum / Windows XP / Music / July 2008automatic numbering of music files
I currently have about 2500 music files in two folders. Recently, each file has somehow had a 2 digit number appended to it. For instance, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.mp3 has mysteriously been renamed 01Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.mp3. That number makes it impossible to sort the songs by name. Any ideas as to where these numbers came from and how do I get rid of them. I use Windows Media Player 11. My system is a Dell Dimension 4700C and the os is Windows XP Pro sp2. Thank You >I currently have about 2500 music files in two folders. Recently, each file > has somehow had a 2 digit number appended to it.

Cheers, Jerry If you are using only Windows Media Player, suggest you check your file naming options in that player. In WMP 11, go to Tools/Options/Rip Music, click the file name button and file name options will appear - make sure that the "track number" box is unticked. To apply those settings to all your music files, go to Options/Library and tick the box "Rename music files using rip music settings" Also you will see just above that "Update library by monitoring folders". Make sure that the box "Delete files from computer when deleted from library is NOT ticked. Click "Monitor Folders" button and ensure that the correct folder where your files are is shown, then click OK. Hope this helps. >>I currently have about 2500 music files in two folders.
