alternately, if you are wanting to rename in batches:

I've gotten myself in the habit of naming all dirs in a system that works for me for importing it to excel in various ways. usually I keep new stuff in a dir that I add the filenames through the ListMaker app, I clean the list up so it's just the folder names, and then line dump to EXCEL and integrate the folders. My folders are named as

"Band - 2024.00.00 - Venue (optional), City State (source) (#cd's) MEDIA"

E.G.:
"Nirvana - 2006.00.00 - Loose Ends (2006 Upgrade) (2 CD) (FLAC)"

The BRACKETS and/or DASHES make it easy to import
