The problem is, not that I can't import, but that it does not access the database and therfore does not give me the artist and song for each file. So, I need to either rename 30,000 files one at a time, or wait for 4.0, which might have a update for my problem, or have a DOS person give me a command line example to rename a batch of files. Maybe something like (ren ????-??.??? DPT????-??.???). DOS 5.1 was a long time ago.

H4.0 is still a ways out. I spotted several file renamers at download.com that looked like they would do the job for you, especially if all you have to do is ad a prefix to the file names.
