Kingzy, you're welcome. Here's another solution for your second question:
Code:
$ mkdir testmp3
$ cd testmp3
$ touch 001-actualsongname1.mp3
$ touch 002-actualsongname2.mp3
$ touch 003-actualsongname3.mp3
$ ls
001-actualsongname1.mp3	002-actualsongname2.mp3	003-actualsongname3.mp3
$ 
$ for i in *
do
mv "$i" "`echo $i | cut -d "-" -f2`"
done
$
$ ls
actualsongname1.mp3	actualsongname2.mp3	actualsongname3.mp3
$

Again, run this in a directory, that contains only the 000-* files.

NAME
mp3splt-gtk -- Gtk utility for mp3/ogg splitting without decoding. SYNOPSIS
mp3splt-gtk [-d Directory ] [ Filename ] DESCRIPTION
mp3splt-gtk is a free software that allows you to split mp3 and ogg files from several splitpoints, without need of decoding and reencod- ing. It is useful to split large mp3/ogg to make smaller files or to split entire albums to obtain original tracks. If you are splitting an album you can get splitpoints and filenames automatically from servers on internet like tracktype.org or from a local .XMCD (.CDDB) or .CUE file, with the possibility to adjust them automatically with silence detection. You can also split files automatically with silence detection, or by a fixed time length. If you have a file created either with Mp3Wrap or AlbumWrap, you can easily split it. The whole program is controlled by a self-describing GUI and documented in the gnome help system. Optionally the name of the input file and the output directory can be specified on the command line (see above). BUGS
