Let's say I have a friend who has an external hard drive with a whole boatload of MP3 files on it that are unidentified. Is there some sort of software that can rename files that are named things like track01 and track02 in folder disk01 so they are named with their actual track title and the folder is named the album title? There is also a text file in each disk01 folder that has a list of the track titles, so this could be done manually if my friend had a free week or so. He's just not so keen on doing that.

Is there some easy to use free software that can ID these MP3 files and change their names? My friend isn't sure how he'll end up playing these MP3 files, so he doesn't necessarily want to load them into a proprietary system like iTunes that would need to be opened every time he wants to play the tracks in the future. But he might be willing to do that.
