I have a variety of them. That's why carefully selecting the subset to feed to the bulk rename regex is step one.

Yeah, selecting a subset of the target files as a test is a good idea, and will give me an indicator of how long the process will take. (Long enough I won't want to twiddle my thumbs and wait.)

This is a longer term project, now that I have an approach to take. The files are converted on on my viewing device. Cleaning up titles is a when I get to it housekeeping item, because I'm fussy about details like that.
