   ren "%string%%romo%.MP3"  "%string%%romo%.p3"   
   ren "%string%%romo%.p3"  "%string%%romo%.mp3"   
   exit   
      
      
      
   rename would NOT work here with drive letters bevor..   
   If i take   
      
   ren datei.1 datei.2 it works but   
   ren c:\datei.1 to c:\datei 2 it would NOT work   
   so i try this :   
      
   @echo off   
   set string=%1   
   set romo=%2   
   set string=%string:"=%   
   set romo=%romo:"=%   
      
      
      
   cd %string%   
   ren "%romo%.MP3"  "%romo%.p3"   
   ren "%romo%.p3"  "%romo%.mp3"
