yep just for this question, and then I found a solution myself elsewhere. It is called 'MidiKit' and it can not only access track information but also change between midi types 0 and 1; something I was also after for a long time ... No batch processing though ...

hahaha, boy, I'd love to; but this is totally over my head. I am just an innocent user, happy to keep things together, who does not even know what a SysEx string is ... I also find it hard to believe that I am the only one that has a need for such a tool ...

one can change the name of the files appearance in the DAW; be it Logic, Live or whatever; and then export as and it stays renamed after that ... but this is not what I am looking for. it would take weeks to do that. there should be an application that turns the filename into the name of the files appearance. we have these meta-tag access batchers for mp3s since day 1. why don't we have that for midi (that is 20 years older)?

I have a couple of midi files named in the finder e.g. - Drum1 - Drum2 - Drum3 but when I drag/import the files into my DAW the name that appears for the clip is often totally different. So the question: How can I edit the name for the midi file that appears in the DAW (Logic/Live) I am flying on OS X Lion.
