I've been using this program for awhile and it is a great program. Has every possible way I can think of to rename files. Lets you remove,replace,add,insert, capitalize, etc... It contains a real-time preview of all your changes as you select them so you can determine if it is the right option, and has an undo feature as well if you make a mistake. I havnt even used all the features built-in to this program as it contains many. Very usefull program for me.

Very nice and easy to use. Took me several minutes to get use to the Interface but from there after, it was easy to use and quickly manage my music :)

I've tried just about every file renaming utility out there and this one is THE BEST - and FREE, too ! Keep up the great work !

The best renaming utility ever BUT the 2.7.6 version was the last simple one. Current releases hurts eyes with changed GUI and very bad controls positioning. I had thought that it is impossible to author to make this tool bad but he did it. I understand the greed for icons but it doesn't explain why elements alignment is so inconsistent and takes so much space. Simplicity has been killed.

Such a useless tool when you have TotalCommander. I tried it because there was one thing TC can't do in renaming matters: Rename folders (not files) recursively.

Rename Master doesn't offer that either. So no need for it here.

Well, I just started using it. It didn't take me long to find the options that I want to use, (EXIF and MP3 Tags), BUT, it would be helpful if there was a 'built in' help page. I sometimes use a PC that isn't connected to the internet, Yeah that might seem strange, but I do work with 'sensitive' databases and a legal requirement is that the computer with the databases must NOT be connected to the internet or a network.

I digress. A 'built in' help page/file would be great.

An excellent program anyway.

Great Utility... I would like to ask Technomancer why in the world he is playing on the DB server then? Smart thinking makes the world go around!

it's boring steps 4 small program

It's been updated to "2.9.0"

Couldn't figure out how to rename files based on the Year in an MP3 tag, or to do a mass rename of an Album Title tag. It has a few foibles, like wiping out my customized columns when refreshing the page view after a mass rename action.

If you want to download it but don't want to disable your adblocker the url is http://www.joejoesoft.com/cms/file.php?f=userupload/8/files/rmv294.zip

Ralph 2010-01-24 11:30

Above link does not work. You have to disable your adblocker. So it's not really freeware for me. There are other renaming tools like this on the market. Forget it.

carbonize 2010-01-24 16:49

Yeah I should of tested. Disabling Javascript will enable you to bypass that pathetic "You must disable ad blockers" message. As if seeing the ads is going to make us click them.

I'd say it's debateable that this program could compete with WildRename: http://www.cylog.org/utilities/wildrename.jsp

In the fs renaming through GUI portable freeware department, I find LupasRenamer (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=47) hard to beat for ease of use (notwithstanding its aging interface), as well as Siren (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1315) for its sheer flexibility and power...

V2.9.5

Good app, but unfortunately not exactly portable since latest version writes a *lot* of files on his folder:

\Icache
default.rmscr
menu.ini
filter.ini
insert2.ini
columns.dat
customcolumns.ini
rm.ini
toolbar2.dat

V2.9.5

david.lynch 2011-10-17 15:06

What I meant was: could write just one .ini. That's too much files compared to equivalent apps.

V2.9.5

Not finding a 3.1 there. there's a 3.0.1 though. Dunno about all this add stuff though. Looking for something else as easy to use.

V3.1

Checker 2012-08-19 08:27

@ spchtr: Changelog says "V3.1" and rightklick->properties->version on RenameMaster.exe gives me V3.1.0.2398 ... so I call it "V3.1".

V3.1
