Hi, Willem: Yes, very horible names. I had the choice of editing before sending abcde on its way to rip. Truth be told, I didn't look at them very closely at that point. I think I'm actually going to take a different tack when I get around to fixing this rip. I'm going to create directories for composer and the particular work's title, e.g. Symphony3. Then I can just use digits and the tempo marking for the filenames themselves. It matters not a wit to me that all these came off a particular cd. To my mind, that's just an artifact of legacy media delivery. The only grouping that matters to me is the grouping for each work under the directory of each composer. This, of course, was more than I could do profitably at the stage abcde offered names for me to edit. Thanks for the suggestions.
