Rename audio files in Audition Media Browser?

Report · Feb 28, 2020

Is there really no way to rename audio files when browsing them in Media Browser? This seems like it should be baked into the Media Browser, but doesn't look like it to me.

p.s. It wouldn't be a big deal if Bridge allowed you to rename audio files, but it has a bug that prevents that if you are previewing them.

No there isn't. Could I respectfully ask you to look up what 'Browse' means? 😉

This was/is quite deliberate; ever since Audition stopped using Microsoft utilities within itself (that was a very long time ago), a functional demarkation was decided upon - which means that Audition itself won't perform operating system duties. This never applied to Bridge - which was due to be rather more integrated with Audition, I believe, and indeed allows file modifications. But yes, not having audio renaming working properly in Bridge is a bit of a pain, and for many purposes makes it pretty useless as far as audio is concerned.
