Thanks for your valuable participation @K! :Thmbsup:

The one I use almost all the time is GUI only (dbPoweramp)

No sweat! Use any converter you wish & let's focus on the resulting file naming pattern :)

Can you provide an example of input file name + output file name?

If it's merely a change from ".wav" to ".mp3", we're talking one-day code :up:

If it's another pattern it may take a bit longer (i.e. we can raise complexity, up to regex matching)

Cheers!
Vic

But because the dates have some sentimental value (kids' musical and voice performances from 1997-2004) I want to keep the original file dates and not overwrite them with the conversion date.-Lolipop Jones (May 12, 2021, 04:39 PM)

@LJ

FileDateReplay is complete @ https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=51612.0

You may want to try it in case you stumble upon the need to keep or "replay" original file dates in other formats  :Thmbsup:

Cheers!
