Friendly MP3 Rename

This is a simple script that will rename all mp3's in the current directory to be more 'command-line friendly.' Great for downloaded files from users of 'other' operating systems. If a file-name clash occurs, the new filename will have an incrementing number at the end for each clash (so as not to overwrite any existing file).

Turns "Group (Album) - Song Name.MP3" into "Group_Album_Song_Name.mp3"

Features:

Searches for *.mp3 and *.MP3 in current dir.
Changes ' ' to '_' in filenames.
Changes 'MP3' to 'mp3'
Changes %20 to '_'.
Removes ' " & [ ] ( ) and other non-shell friendly characters.
Easy to modify.
