iTunes renames my mp4 files when I import them. I used Slysoft's CloneDVD mobile to create mp4 files. I didn't like CloneDVD's file-naming convention, so in Windows Explorer I renamed them. For example, I renamed "Brain_T4_C01" to "Brain 07-01". When I imported this file iTunes ignored the new name and imported it using the original "Brain_T4_C01". Is there a way to have the iTunes import retain the new file name, and ignore the original file name? Thank you for any ideas.
If I'm not mistaken, you can edit the files directly in iTunes, right click and select Get Info, then go to the Info tab, and edit it like that. I didn't have a video file on hand, so I used a mp3 file, I hope they both have the same settings.
Thanks for your response. It is true that iTunes allows file-renaming. I have been doing that, just as you described. But this is very time-consuming. I'm dealing with many files: several series of video lectures, each of which has multiple tracks. I've already taken the time in Windows Explorer to give more-meaningful names to the original files. Now I would just like iTunes to retain those meaningful names instead of reverting to the more cryptic originals.
