This is a script I did to put the track numbers before the name of mp3s to keep the tracks in the correct order instead of alphabetized.

It ran fine on all (100+ folders / 1300+ songs) except for three folders .

I cannot tell wtf is going on here.

any body have any ideas?

output =>

Enter the path to the music file:/n>c:\test

path_name = c:\test\2 - Live Albums\1995 - MTV unplugged\Shooting Star.mp3

02 - Shooting Star.mp3

path_name = c:\test\2 - Live Albums\1995 - MTV Unplugged\The Times They are A-Changin'.mp3

04 - The Times They Are A-Changin'.mp 3 path_name = c:\test\2 - Live Albums\1995 - MTV Unplugged\Tombstone Blues.mp3 01 - Tombstone Blues.mp3

path_name = c:\test\2 - Live Albums\1995 - MTV Unplugged\With God On Our Side.mp3

12 - With God On Our Side.mp3

path_name = c:\test\1 - Studio Albums\1964 - The Times They Are A-Changin\Ballad Of Hollis Brown.mp3

    Nothing obvious jumps out at me. How about adding a print statement just prior to `os.rename()` to display the arguments that are being passed to that function. Could it be a permissions problem, e.g. the directory can not be written to? – mhawke Mar 12 '15 at 23:42
  • Might want to learn the [pdb module](https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/pdb.html#module-pdb) if print statements don't work. – wwii Mar 13 '15 at 00:55
  • Tried renaming the folder and is busy somewhere. Time for a reboot. – bkane56 Mar 13 '15 at 02:03
