Answer 1

Irfanview is a free shareware program that will allow you to do that using a naming convention like $Nm or m$N. $N being the origanal file name w/o the extension. You can also substitute letters or use somthing like ( song###) for naming the songs w/ consecutive numbers). It works w/ most any files.

Hit b for Batch proccess once you've installed the program. The really cool thing i use it for is to Batch a folder full of high rez photos to email size! (resample). If you install all the plugins it'll read most any media file - and SUPER fast. You'll love the program. (I do)

Answer 3

From the command line:
for %f in (*.*) do ren %f M%f
From the batch file, you will need to double % sign:
for %%f in (*.*) do ren %%f M%%f
It will add 'M' in front of each file name in the current directory.
