A massive collection of songs, TV series and movies may give you bragging rights, but as collections grow, it gets harder and harder to keep them organized. You may move your files around to make room for new ones and store older ones unorganized for ages. FileBot is a Windows application that helps you organize your movies and TV series. It allows you to search for episode names for any series and rename the corresponding files using the downloaded list. Alternatively, it will also let you specify the pattern for renaming the files, though the syntax is limited to just appending serial numbers to the end of the file name. FileBot even lets you analyze entire media folders and view which subfolders and what file types have been saved to it. Lastly, you have the option to search for and download subtitles for movies.
Assuming you’ve got a ten media files of the same series to work with and each is named on a different pattern, you should head over to the List tab first. Enter the name of the series, limit the number to count to ten only and click create. Using AMC series The Walking Dead as an example to work with, we ended up with a list that reads The Walking Dead – 01 all the way to The Walking Dead – 10. You can save this list and then head over to the Rename tab.
