How to mass rename files

When one downloads an album from a torrents or web site, they usually get songs that look something like this:01_this_song_rocks-example_artist.mp3I assume they rename it in this format to make it a little less search-able by anti-piracy groups.If you want your song to look like this:01 This Song Rocks - Example Artist.mp3 This program (freeware, made by Denis Kozlov) is a great mass renamer which allows you to add "rules" which removes, replaces, makes uppercase, etc. all the files in a folder you choose and then rename them.

1. Add a new rule. 2. Set the rule to Replace. 3. In the Find: field, type in _ 4.In the Replace: field, you should obviously type a space. 5. Click Add Rule. The results will appear on the right side of the bottom right box. 6. If you like the results, click Rename in the upper right corner or the window.

* The "-" symbol should have spacing before and after to show a change in description (Ex. from Title of Song-Author to Title of Song - Author).

1. Add a new rule.2. Set the rule to Replace.3. Inf the Find: field, type in -4. In the Replace: field, type in a - but with a space before and after.5. Click Add Rule. The results will appear on the right side of the bottom right box.6. If you like the results, click Rename in the upper right corner or the window.

* If all song titles and authors are in lowercase, you can make all the first letters of the words uppercase with the Case rule.

1. Add a new rule.2. Set the rule to Case. (I recommend setting the capitolization Capitolize Every Word. Is set by default I believe.)

*Tip*If you really want to get in-depth on what words capitolize you can add fragments: Depending on what you enter in the fragment box, the program will capitolize every word except for the ones you typed into the fragment field. This is helpful for preventing words like "the", "is", "and" etc. from becoming uppercase.

4. If you added fragments, check the Force Case for fragments checkbox.5. Click Add Rule. The results will appear on the right side of the bottom right box.6. If you like the results, click Rename in the upper right corner or the window.

Finding Phone Videos with Google

You can use the following Google searches to find 3GP files for viewing on some cell phones:

CODE
-inurl:htm -inurl:html -inurl:asp intitle:"index of” 3gp

CODE
filetype:3gp inurl:3gp

CODE
filetype:3gp inurl:3gp yourkeyword
(On my phone I can view WMV, though I didn’t find any good site with small, downloadable and fun videos. Replacing “3gp” with “wmv” above technically works, but most of the videos you’ll find are too large for cell phones.)

find out a person's IP by using MSN messenger

connect to them (file share, send, etc...) then run command (XP) or cmd (2000 and under)type in netstattheir IP is the one listed that isn't yours.

How to download from video sites like youtube easier

http://dlthis.com/ use this link

Some common questions about the Video Grabber:
Q: Why do I get a 403 error and/or a blank page saying "You are not authorized to view this page" when I download some videos from FlickPeek or Peekvid?
A: This is because DailyMotion (where the videos are actually hosted) has taken the videos off of their servers. You need to inform PeekVid or FlickPeek so that they can upload a newer version and update their links.
Q: My favourite site [insertsitehere].com isn't supported. What can I do?
A: You can send the URL of the site and if you want, a specific example link from the site to porkchop009[at]gmail.com.
Q: What do I do with the FLV files after I've downloaded them?
A: You can either view them using a FLV player such as "FLV Player" or "VLC Player", or you can convert the files to another format using "SUPER".
Q: You liar! You said that [sitename] was supported, but I tried a link from [sitename] and it didn't work. What's the deal?
A: Certain sites will change the way they operate, especially if they're a newer site. Just send the link in question to porkchop009[at]gmail.com and I'll try to deal with it.
