Well, iTunes has the option to rename audio files - unfortunately. If you chose "let iTunes manage your music", it will rename and re-sort all your music according to its own rules, which are not my rules. So you'll end up with an artist's folder for each artist on a compilation CD, and other shenanigans too. On top of that it's not even consistent, so the album title will show up on only few titles but not all, like missing teeth in my playist.
I will restore my music to the original state from a backup, soon.

The client runs VLC, which opens ProRes files but only showing a black frame
It could be because
the file doesn't have an audio track. When I also try to play a Prores video from Moho, on a Windows system, VLC doesn't show anything. It is the same with Prores files from TVPaint.
As an alternative to VLC there is also
MPV with which you can use the keys , (comma) or . (full stop) to go one frame backwards or forwards. It can play ffmpeg Prores file generated by Moho.

it looked like Potplayer saved a new file and then deleted the old one. So, it's not really 'renaming' the file, but close enough!
A software I find handy when working with audio files, specially sound effects or voice overs, is
Resonic. The free version doesn't seem to do batch renaming but can rename individual files and it allows to see the waveform of each file when playing it.

Regarding managing music files, there is also
Mp3tag, which allows to rename files based on the data on each file. Or one can change the data of each track of an album in one go, called batch tag-editing. It works for many audio format, not just mp3s as the name of the software suggests. For Windows and Mac.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip!
