Like most normal people, I fret if the case is not exactly correct on my song files. a, an, the, and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so, as, at, by, for, in, of, to, and from need to be lower case, unless at the start or end of a title.
I have Bulk Rename Utility, but I couldn't figure out how to achieve what I wanted, so I turned to Mp3Tag.
I did have to fix maybe 5% by hand, but these are unique cases. Compilations, etc.
Here's how I fixed every song. These five actions had to be run consecutively:
Action type: Replace with regular expression
Field: _TAG
Regular expression: ([-({\[\]}) _",./+&@:;*])(\l)
Replace matches with: $1$upper($2)
[x] case-sensitive comparison
Action type: Format value
Field: _FILENAME
Formatstring: $regexp(%_filename%,'([-({\[\]}) _",./+&@:;*])(\l)',$1\u$2)
Action type: Replace with regular expression
Field: _All
Regular expression: ^(\l)
Replace matches with: $upper($1)
[x] case-sensitive comparison
Action type: Replace with regular expression
Field: _ALL
Regular expression: (?<![/\-:;\(\)\[\]{}])\s(a|an|the|and|but|or|nor|for|yet|so|as|at|by|for|in|of|to|from)(?=\s)(?!\s[\-\(\)\[\]{}])
Replace matches with: $lower($0)
[ ] case-sensitive comparison
Action type: Replace with regular expression
Field: _ALL
Regular expression: (^|\s|\(|\[|/)'(.{1})
Replace matches with: $1'$upper($2)
[ ] case-sensitive comparison
