I have quite a lot of music files but their title attributes have the track numbers infront of them, like 01.TrackName, 02.TrackName.
What is the best way to strip off integers from the file attributes?
Edit: I am using windows and all music files are MP3. Any solution as batch files, c++ or .net etc will be appreciated.
I'd use Flexible File Renamer to rename the files per your needs. It does require some familiarity with patterns and, in some advanced scenarios, regular expressions.
There are several other similar tools on the market, each with their own scope as to what they can do and how easily it can be done.
See http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA014830/english/FlexRena/. The website shows a screenshot of a user batch-renaming a set of MP3 files using not only elements within the filename but also ID3 tag-related information such as track title and artist.
I use Flash Renamer Great util, and it has support for renameing MP3's
You can use an ID3 tag editor. Some have support for batch tagging using regexes. Another option would be to use python with the id3 tag library (I don't remember its name...)

I have created a certificate design with powerpoint.
Now I have to create 100+ copies of it... each with a different name (the recipent).
I was wondering if there was an easy way to do it...
I can have the list of names in excel or txt.
I am open to other ideas as well, like changing the slide into an images and batch processing it in a simple way
You may also try out SlideMight, a tool for merging hierarchical data with PowerPoint templates. SlideMight supports iteration over data, to generate slides or to populate tables. There is more functionality, but you don't seem to need that. SlideMight is in fact a coding system, like mail merge for Word is.
Input data format is at this time just JSON; you would need to convert your Excel sheets first, e.g. using this Excel to JSON add-in for Excel.
There are versions for Windows and Mac OS X.

This is a question that really belongs in SuperUser, not StackOverflow (which is intended for coding questions, not software how-to-use questions).
But ...
Save your names to a plain notepad TXT file, one name per line.
Start PowerPoint, choose File, Open and point to your TXT file (you may force the matter by choosing . in Files of type:
Apply whatever template you like to the result.
I have a commercial add-in that'll do this and quite a bit more, but from your description, you don't need it.
I want two compare two voice files and find difference between them.
Suppose I have an original file of a music track and another file that is read out of that music by me, I want two compare these two files and find difference between their phonemes. Actually the words aren't important for me, the important thing is similarity in phonemes and I want to find something like the percentage of similarity. I prefer to implement something with Python.
You could try audio fingerprinting using fpcalc in Chromaprint.
Chromaprint is the core component of the AcoustID project.
The audio fingerprinting is done using fpcalc in Chromaprint.
fpcalc should be placed in the same directory as the Python script.
Python bindings for Chromaprint acoustic fingerprinting and the Acoustid API.

Bellow is an example article with python demo code.

How does Chromaprint work?

I’m new to EE and trying to learn the basics. Some questions about the File Manager:
I upload a photo and put “cat, kitten” in the description. When I do a search for “kitten”, it finds the photo. But when I do a search for “cat”, I get nothing. Any ideas what’s going on?
The file metadata are: file title, file name, description, credit, and location. What if I wanted to add custom fields? How do I do that?
In the template files, how do I access a particular manipulation (I call this “rendition”) of an image? Say I define a rendition “thumbnail” to be 100x100. How do I access that particular rendition in a template?
Is there a way to randomize the file names of the files being uploaded?
After uploading an image and testing it against PageSpeed, it turns out that the image can still be optimized via losslessly compressing it. How can this problem be addressed?
Ah, the file manager. Not EE's brightest spot.
It would not surprise me if the search in the File Manager was not
very robust. I'd try more variations to narrow it down (what kind of
characters affect the results - commas, dashes, spaces, etc ... do
partial terms match?)
You cannot currently add custom metadata to files in the file manager.
Use this syntax: {field_name:rendition}, e.g.,
{my_image:thumbnail} (docs).
Nope.
EE just uses the GD library available in your PHP install to resize
images. If you want the highest possible optimization, you'll have
to do your image manipulations yourself.
Given your queries, I would suggest you have a look at Assets by Pixel and Tonic. It offers a far superior file management experience on most of these fronts.
I have a website that runs off an OpenWRT router. I'd like to optimize the site by removing an files that aren't being used. Here is my directory structure...
/www/images
/www/js
/www/styles
/www/otherSubDirectories <--- not really named that
I'm mostly concerned about identifying images that are not used because those take the most space. But it would also be nice to identify style sheets and javascript files that are not being used. So, is there a way I can search /www and all sub directories and files and print a list of files in /www/images, /www/js, and /www/styles that are not referenced by any other files?
When I'm looking for files that contain a specific string I use this:
find . | xargs grep -Hn 'myImage.jpg'
That would tell me all files that reference the image. Maybe some variation of that?
Any help would be appreciated!

Swiss File Knife is very nice tool.
Find out which files are used (referenced) by other files through fuzzy content analysis
Consider using a cross-reference program (for example, lxr) for this problem. (I haven't verified if lxr can do the job, but believe it can.) If an off-the-shelf cross-reference program doesn't work, look for an open source cross-reference program in a language you know, and adapt it.
I have hundreds of mp3 files that have unique file names in succession. i.e. mysong8001.mp3 and mysong8002.mp3 and mysong8101.mp3 where "80" and "81" are the year and "01" and "02" reflect the order of the files for a given year.
The person that created the files did not add any tags except for a Title. Unfortunately all of the files for 1980 have the Title "1980" and all of 1981 have the Title "1981". Once imported into iTunes, there is no way to distinguish the files or their order.
Is there a way to change the id3 tag info for the Title to be the same as the file name? So that in iTunes, the Title would be "mysong8001"? I would prefer to change this for all files in a directory rather than me having to open each file's info and manually change it. That would take days to weeks to accomplish.
One other thing that would be nice is that as a group of files, that I could also change other tags as well that would be common to all of them like the "Artist", "Album", etc.
Any suggestion for an app (on a Mac) that would let me do this would be appreciated.

This one works perfectly.

I think Mp3Tag ( http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ ) should work fine for you. You can describe a pattern the filename is constructed of and add/remove/change tags to the mp3 file.
Life hacker has put together an article on six best id3 tag editors, you might like one of them.
