+# Script to manage renaming existing files in given directory and
+# propagating that change to database. Typical usage: renaming files
+# from 'title.mp3' to title - artist.mp3'
+#
+# Actions:
+#
+# - record all filenames and inode numbers
+# - external: rename the files
+# - update records with new filenames for each inode number
+# - update external database with new paths
