Computer people: Find-Replace with file names?

[grandkodiak]

I have a BUNCH of files that I'm formatting to my naming style... i.e. music BUT its a PAIN in the everloving ass to do it all by hand, even copy/paste isnt helping much. Is there a find/replace feature (like from notepad or murge in cmd) for file names in Windows Explorer, or in the command prompt that I don't know about?

What do the file names end with .. such as executable files i.e. those ending with .exe. .. which might give you problems if you change the name

neg... I just need a way of cleaning up alot of clutter fast so I can do less steps... they are mp3s.

For example I have a shitload of

"track_number_song_title-album name_rippers id.mp3"

which I could find/replace the "_" to spaces " " to delete them, get rid of the ripper tag which is the same on all the hundreds of files, and change the "-" to " - "... then I could atleast concentrate on the reformating of the name layouts by hand. would save me alot of time and typing... yea im aware i'm anal
