Rename Audio with AI
Rename audio with AI using Zush to replace generic track, memo, interview, podcast, and meeting filenames with searchable names based on metadata, recognition, and transcript context. Zush renames files in place, with optional AI folder sorting (beta).

Try it with sample files
Turn a voice memo into a searchable recording
Choose names that help you recognise a meeting, interview, podcast segment, or music track without replaying it.
Download the starters
Download two Templates, a short spoken WAV and a tagged FLAC tone. Try speech and music tags separately.
Import and select a Template
Open Templates → More (…) → Import Templates. In AI Rename, use Spoken audio topic for WAV or Tagged music artist and title for FLAC.
Check names before renaming
Check the topic and any inferred details. Apply the reviewed names; rename history lets you undo.
voice_memo_042.wavExample resultautumn-product-launch.wav2 Templates (.zushtemplates) and 2 synthetic files (ZIP). Mac 3.13+ · Windows 3.10+. English output; sorting and metadata writing off. Speech analysis depends on your AI mode. Setup and sample details
Noise, missing tags, unsupported transcription paths, or unclear speech can limit the result. AI may not identify a speaker or song reliably. Changing filenames does not rewrite audio tags or repair links in playlists and editing projects.

The test used a non-English output language; the name is translated here. A small test, not an accuracy guarantee; the starter Templates were not part of it. Full test setup and results
