This may sound like a silly question but iv heard you shouldnt mess with the audio file in any way but does that also mean we cant rename it?

Nah I don’t think it matters one bit. I always renamed customs and they work fine.

renaming is ok. They mean don’t mess with the actual audio part.
I change the album names when I download mine. Like ZPV2-MAX-Mased, or ZPV2-Ultra, etc.

I rename a lot of them as a matter of course, changing what it’s called on the filesystem doesn’t change the file content.
Specifically, I get rid of the "Subliminal Club - " part at the start so it’s possible to select a sub from one of my many subfolders (for Q, Qv2, Ultima, ZP, ZPv2 etc) by starting to type the name in Explorer. Makes it a hell of a lot easier to find a specific version or sub from the almost 18GB of subs / 393 different files.

A follow up question for you guys who change the file name, any android app recommendations for changing the file name?.
When I use the file explorer that comes along with Samsung phones to change a custom’s name, it still shows the original file name when I open it with Samsung Music app.

I mostly changed the name of the files in laptop first (both file titles and tags) then transferred them to the phone. However if I had to do it in phone then music app such as Stellio or Poweramp can change tags.

I normally rename on a windows PC. The problem might be that the file name is not the same as the track title of a MP3.
If you open Properties of a file you see the file name under General and under Details the track’s title.
Also: Always a good idea to copy and paste the module list into Comments in Details.

I rename just my customs since the only real identifier is the order number. I’ve only ordered half a dozen customs over the years, but I’d like to know at a glance what sub I’m looking at.
I just did this the other day with my LB custom.

Oh yeah. I just found the setting.
After adding the track to the playlist, there is a dot on the right side of the track. Click it, select Track Details and click on the pencil icon on the top right side of the screen to change the name there.
This is for the Samsung Music app but I guess the other music apps will have something similiar.
Thanks man!

This might be a late answer but for those who are shell script geeks, here’s what I’ve done in the past (bash one liner):
for file in Subliminal\ Club\ -\ *.mp3; do newname=`echo $file|sed -e 's/^Subliminal Club - //;'`; mv "$file" "$newname"; done
Short. Sweet. Does the job.
