Manually Rename Mp3 Files (Data Entry, Links, Marketing, Website Design, Writing)

I have about 1800 mp3's, I would say approximately 1/2 of them need to be renamed to a specific format.
- Not all songs need to be renamed or reformatted; many of them are in the correct format.
- There can't be any special characters, only spaces and hyphens
- You are not to use any automated renaming software

The songs need to be in the following format:
“Artist(Space)-(Space)Song Title.mp3”
“Artist – Song Title.mp3”

Remix and Live need to be kept in the name if it's already there.
For example:
Old: Artist – Album – Song Title (Remix).mp3
New: Artist – Song Title (Remix).mp3
Old: 02_Artist_ft_Artist_Song Title_(Live).mp3
New: Artist – Song Title (Live).mp3

- If there's a “featuring artist” they need to be removed. Only the main artist, song title and Live/Remix (if applicable) are to be in the file name.
- If there isn't an artist or song name you need to put “ZZZ” in front of the song
“ZZZ – Song Title.mp3” or “ZZZ – Artist.mp3”

- The selected person will connect via FTP to rename the songs.
- I have found it easiest to sort the songs by Size, View > Details and start renaming from the top.
