Well, you'd probably want to search for an easy recursive function to iterate over directories... then when iterating through the files, you'd want to rename them:

<?php

function renameSubfiles($dir, $recursive=true)
{
  $d = dir($dir);

  while(false !== ($entry = $d->read()))
  {
    if($entry != '.' && $entry != '..')
    {
      $entry2 = $dir.'/'.$entry;
      if(is_dir($entry2) && $recursive)
      {
        renameSubfiles($entry2);
      }
      else
      {
        $search = array(' ', '&#350;', '&#304;'); // What you want replaced
        $replace = array('', 'S', 'I'); // What you want each replaced with
        $new = str_replace($search, $replace, $entry);
        $fullentry = $dir.'/'.$new;
        if(rename($entry2, $fullentry) == false)
          echo 'Renaming of file (<em>' . $entry2 . '</em>) failed.';
        else
          echo 'Renaming of file (<em>' . $entry2 . '</em>) succeeded.';       

      }
    }
  }
}

renameSubfiles('C:/Music');

?>

Hope that helps. It may not work 100%, but it should get you going. If you have more characters you want to replace, you'd just fill the arrays with your replacements... Each $search element MUST HAVE a $replace element. Each element in the arrays match up with the other, so all spaces are removed, all İ change into I and all Ş turn into S right now. You can add as you need.
