Hey All, I use a downloader to grab and download podcasts, and then I queue them up in VLC. Some of the podcasts have the Title in the name, others are just random numbers and letters, but I find the actual Title name in the metadata/info pane. I found an app that will convert the names to the Titles, but I have to manually do it. Is there anyway to have anything that runs inside that folder automatically have it's name changed to the what's in the Title field in the Get Info pane? Again, I found an app, Tag Editor, that does it, albeit manually. Is there any other app or automator script that can launch at boot up and just automatically change the names of the downloaded files as they download? BTW running High Sierra on 8 and 12 core 2011 Mac Pros, so if I need to upgrade the OS to find a solution, please let me know.

Thanks All,
--G
