After specifying what files to search for, its time to specify the templates to use for renaming the files.

Brief explanation of this window

window_newtemplateeditor

File Name Template text box - Displays the template and allows for direct editing
Data element buttons - Clicking these buttons will add the corresponding element to your file name template saving the effort of manually typing them.
Delimiter buttons ("_-_" and " - ") - These work similar to the data element buttons except that they insert the delimiter specified by the button into the file name template at the insertion point.  A delimiter is a special symbol that a computer program can use to tell where one data element ends and another begins.  We recommend using the "_-_" delimiter as this sequence of characters is not likely to be present in any artist, song title, etc.
Clear button - Clears the file name template allowing you to start over.
