Track Names to Filenames v2.6
Changes the filenames of the tracks in the selected Playlist (all of them or just selected) to their actual track names, with the option to prefix names with their track number such that "Song One" becomes "01.Song One", etcetera. Ensures all filenames end with the ".mp3" extension (no longer an option). See the screenshot for an example.
• This latest version should handle very large numbers of tracks much better, and prevents prefixing numbers to filenames if the "Library" is the selected Playlist.
• (Also see the version for SoundJam.)
