Rename archives

Asked by cfwelc

I want to rename some music archives. I just want to remove the begging of them.
For example:
'Artist - music 1.mp3' to 'music 1.mp3'

How should I write the command on Terminal?
Thanks.

Tanks, but i want to rename not just one archive.

'Artist - music 1.mp3' to 'music 1.mp3';
'Artist - music 2.mp3' to 'music 2.mp3';
'Artist - music 3.mp3' to 'music 3.mp3';
'Artist - music 4.mp3' to 'music 4.mp3';
'Artist - music 5.mp3' to 'music 5.mp3';

I hope this tutorial will help you:

PS: Why Terminal? There are many programs for mass renaming in "Add/Remove...".

Can you help with this problem?
