Windows Utility For Mass File Renaming Job

I've been assigned a task of standardizing the file names for several thousand music files for an organization I'm associated with. The files have been stored in two separate locations, and we're working on combining them in one place, giving access to each location over a network.

A few thousand of the files have been named in a format describing the artist, track number and then song title, like this: Artist - 01 - Name Of Song.MP3. A lot more of the files (over 30,000 of them) have been named describing track number, artist, and then song title, like so: 01 - Artist - Name Of Song.MP3.

Does anyone know of a program that can handle the renaming function like this of a large amount of files? I've heard IrfanView has a pretty robust file re-naming feature, but can it handle something like this?

Basically, renaming several thousand files from Artist - 01 - Song Title.MP3 to 01 - Artist - Song Title.MP3

Thanks

Randy
