Automator Script to rename files with the file's Comment text?

Hello and thank you for your time!


Summary:

I'd like to have an Automator Script that would copy the File's Comment info and paste it to the File's name, so I can import my sound effects into iTunes and have the proper labeling.


Breakdown:

I have a ton of Sound Effects that I'd like to put into iTunes, but the filenames are for example, "04. Track 04.mp3". Not the most helpful name.


I can search by "car crash" in the finder and find THAT file ("04. Track...") because it's in the File's metadata in the Comment info, as "Car Crash - Chevy Camaro".



So is there a script or a way to script Automator to copy the File's Comment info and paste it to the File's name, so I can import these into iTunes and have the proper labeling?



Thank you for reading!
