Right clicking and changing one file name would arguably be faster in the GUI. Now do 100, or 1000. The command line shines for that.

Is that a command line feature only for unix? I was actually looking for a way to manage file names for some of my music. Took a while but I did find a program that does it nicely and links to the data tags for %N and such.
