iTunes is decent enough, primarily for keeping up with podcasts on the ipod, but it's terrible at mass renaming/renumbering. It doesn't come up often, but just enough. I have plenty of multi-disc albums (audio books, mainly), only some of which are in CDDB. So I end up with some tracks with iTunes' default "Track NN" and others with "N-MM" or "Nm", where m/M could be alpha or numeric. Bothers the TypeA in me! I tried MediaMonkey, but it doesn't seem to recognize the disc number (ID3 frame: TPOS), otherwise it appears to have a decent scripting ability.

So Perl to the rescue!
