Changing Permalinks but keeping the old ones, plugins suck

    I need help. I have over 300 posts on my wordpress site and I need to change the permalink structure to make good for Google News. Obv the problem is that if I change this all the old links go bad and this all does more harm than good.

    I looked into two plugins - Redirection and "Dean's Permalink Migration"

    The "Redirection" one just doesn't seem to work. I tried it and it failed and gave me 404 errors. IT also seems to force you to do every single link you are redirecting individually which makes doing this task for my 300+ post website nearly impossible.

    The other one, "Dean's Permalink Migration" seems to have died with WP 3.0 and hasn't had any updates which scares me if it ever does get updated that it'll get wacked in the future and kill the site.

    Hopefully someone here has a solution?
