Re: [eug-lug]renaming
There is a perl rename script that allows you to do something like:
# ren 's/^_/section/' *.mp3
I keep it in my bin directory. You can name it 'ren', or 'rename', or
whatever. I'll attach it.

Re: [eug-lug]renaming
I would end up doing a for loop something like this: foreach i ( *mp3) mv $i section$i echo $i end But you must have something else in mind.
