My first suggestion is that you make better changes while you're
taking the effort to rename.  I.e., don't use spaces or apostrophes
(or other shell-unfriendly characters) in file names (though some
might disagree with me on this religious issue).  So for your case a
more parse-able/useful translation might be:

    The_Beatles_-_You_Wont_See_Me.mp3

You'll probably want to use "re" for this.  In a loop over
your glob'd files, something like:

    re.sub(r'^\d\d\s', r'The Beatles - ', ...)

> and Capitalize the name.

If you avoid the apostrophe, then 'you wont see me'.title() will do
the Right Thing.

You should post the solution you've attempted to write if you want help
fixing it.
