Batch Rename all mp3's in a directory

[bschultz]

I need to rename several hundred mp3's in a directory. I've tried this php script...but it seems to have missed every file from 19 to 29 (119-129, 219-229, 319-329 etc).

The original names are in no particular order or fashion in how they're named.

What's my best choice to rename these files to song1.mp3, song2.mp3 song3.mp3 etc.?

PHP Code:

<?php
$i = 1;
foreach (glob("/xmas/*.mp3") as $filename) {
copy ("$filename", "/newpopaudio/xmas$i.mp3");
$i++;
}
?>

use this ..

i=0
for song in *.mp3
do
mv $song song$i.mp3
((i++))
done

go in the directory and run the script.
