I had an external die on me which had all my iTunes music files.

I was able to use recovery software to get the majority of it back.

However, now all my music has the same Date Created and Date Modified dates.

I like to go into that main music folder and sort by Date Created or Date Modified so the newest music I've added is at the top.

I've used a couple pieces of free software that will change the dates, but I have to do it all one at a time.

I guess I'm looking for a smart batch processor.

I'd like to add all the folders into a program in a specific order (the order they used to sort in), then have the program change all the Date Created and Date Modified dates, but giving each subsequent folder an extra minute/hour/day on the date. Hopefully at the end, they all sort the way they are supposed too. I'm not concerned with the date they are given, just the order they sort in at the end.

Thanks for any suggestions.
