One advantage of the podcasts I back on Patreon is being able to download free copies of each episode. I’ve created a file so all episodes play in sequence, but the only practical method seems to be adding numbers at the start of each file—something that feels awkward. Since File Explorer doesn’t save automatically, I have to open each one individually and press F2 to update the title, which is quite cumbersome. There’s also a need to select each file separately, making the process slow. Could there be a quicker way? Are there other options for Windows 10 that replace File Explorer and make managing these files easier? Also, I haven’t tried PLEX yet, but I plan to in the future, which is why I’m considering numbering them as a file property. This idea was suggested on a forum as it could simplify things later.
