That really only changes ID3 tags.
Since the way I like my mp3 files named is kinda weird (I assume, since
none of the programs out there do it my way) I just whipped up a perl
script to rename them based on the id3 tags.  I did need to install the
MP3Info library from CPAN first. I can share, if you are interested.
