What program are you trying to use these in?

Note: I am moving your post and this one to a new thread in the Singers and Hosts Wisdom section of the forums as it does not belong in Songverter New Features.
I ask my question here because it appears that Songverter program can do what I need. However, I did not make it clear what I am doing so please let me try again.

1. I have 1000 zip files where each zip file contains a .cdg and .mp3 file.

2. I need a program to batch unzip all the zip files. This will result in a folder containing 1000 .cdg files and 1000 .mp3 files.

3. The filenames are in a format such as "Album-Track - Artist - Title.mp3". An example would be "SC8142-12 - Brooks & Dunn - Hard Workin' Man.mp3".
The program would parse the filename, then ID3 TAG the artist field with Brooks & Dunn and ID3 TAG the title field with Hard Workin' Man. The ID3 TAG on all the files is normally empty until this step is done.

WinAmp Media Library reads the ID3 TAGs and presents this information into columns for Title, Artist,..... Selecting a column will result in sorting that column alphabetically.

Songverter is an MTU program for sale that may or may not do all the above steps. Does Songverter do what I need?
