I have a directory of mp3 files, sorted in order of Date created:



newest.mp3
new.mp3
old.mp3
older.mp3
oldest.mp3


I want to rename each file in this directory with a new name including an integer value that increases for each file (starting at the newest file):



newest.mp3 --> new_name_1.mp3
new.mp3 --> new_name_2.mp3
old.mp3 --> new_name_3.mp3
older.mp3 --> new_name_4.mp3
oldest.mp3 --> new_name_5.mp3


How can I do this automatically (without needing to manually rename each file)?

  • Have you tried a batch looping with for on dir /od using an incrementing counter via set /a?
