Thanks for your reply Ian.
This is not working for me unfortunately. I have windows 10 and used the general search function with no luck.

Carl,

the meta data is available to any screen search,In your FIND window, simply type a search for a file like this: "Cao Bach .mid"  or "Bach BWV 875 .mid" NOTE that the spaces must be between the words That file will be found for you. (I just replicated this to prove to myself that it works – as I have that file in my computer).

Hi All,




I have a large number of midi files that are saved using abbreviated titles. 

However, in the actual midi file themselves there is a lot of other information regarding the name of the music and performer etc.




These include files available from the e-piano-competition (http://www.piano-e-competition.com/midi_2017.asp)  




For example, the attached file is named "CaoJ01.mid " however, the detail are found as text events within the file:




text_event 0 Title: Prelude and Fugue in D Minor, WTC II, BWV 875

text_event 0 Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach

text_event 0 Performer: John Cao




My question therefore is this: is there a program that allows one to search multiple files based on information within the file.... or is there a quick way to rename the files using the text event info.




At the moment I have no way of storing the many (100's) of midi file in any logical order.




Many Thanks!

Carl
