Akai Force Automating Track Preview File renaming




Track previews are created by saving an audio file into the `[previews]` folder using the same base name as the saved track.


Here’s an example of a saved plug‑in track:


/Almighty 3.xtp 
/[preview]/Almighty 3.xtp.wav


The preview file should have the same name as the saved track, plus the `.wav` extension (alternatively `.mp3`, `.flac`, or `.ogg` should also work).


Unfortunately, the Akai Force does not allow dots in file names.


As a result, we end up with something like:


/[preview]/Almighty 3.wav


Since renaming these files manually is time‑consuming, I wrote two small scripts:


rename.command

Compares the filenames in the main folder and the `[preview]` folder and renames the preview files accordingly.


unmount-force.command

Safely ejects the internally mounted SSD and the SD card.


Recap: renaming files with just one click and unmount 2 volumes with another. done.
