Sorry for the vague subject line, but I didn’t know what else to call
it.
I locate and collect old recordings found on the internet. A few are even
acoustical recordings made before 1926. Sometimes, believe it or not, these
things are recorded at 320 K stereo. That’s fine if they are high fidelity to
begin with; but acoustical recordings? No way. So I want to change the bit rate
and sampling rate on these things to save hard drive space. For this purpose, I
use Pazera free audio extractor which works very well except for one problem. It
will not delete the original file even though I have selected that option.
Instead, it creates another file with the identical name except that it inserts
*.001 just prior to the period before the extention.
In the past, I would go into command mode (cmd) and use the old move
command to move all files containing *.001 using wild
cards to a different directory, leaving only the originals in the original
directory.
I can no longer do this on my desktop running Windows 10, Version 1709,
regardless of which screen reader I use. So I am writing to inquire
whether there is a utility which works in Windows 10 which will allow me to
move, delete, or rename files using wild cards.
I apologize for the lengthy explanation, but it frustrates me to pose a
question or request only to get a response telling me that I didn’t provide
sufficient information.
Thanks in advance for ideas.
