With thanks to MrC, who has really done a great job in creating a script which may do most (if not all) what you need, you may wish to have a look at  
thread: [Change modified date after filename](https://resource.dopus.com/t/change-modified-date-after-filename/15994)

specifically his last script, posted on 23 Aug 2013.

I admit, it is a bit of a tailor-made script and you need to test it first.

For example : your filename reads:  
Filename 2011-07-29\_082609.mp3

if you were to rename the filenames by removing the underscore (Filename 2011-07-29 082609.mp3), it will run just fine.

I have created a "Date from filename"-button to do the redates.

# Good luck!
