Perhaps it could be possible sometime to include some 'tags' in the filename
(perhaps an incrementing number, a timestamp or the date) for easily
creating automatic filnames like:
rehearsal_band_20030111_Part1.mp3
rehearsal_band_20030111_Part2.mp3
...

For me, it's not too important right now, because I will edit the files on
the PC anyway, renaming is no problem then. It's just an idea for the
future.

I don't like the typing scheme on cell phones. On the archos it would be
even more difficult, because the letters aren't printed on the buttons. I'd
prefer the method archos uses in the original firmware (on the recorder, I
don't know anything about the player/studio models) with a few extensions,
for example a cursor that allows you to change the first letter without
deleting all the other letters, too.

It could be a little bit difficult to create a predefined dictionary with
all band names and songs, as you won't type too much plain text I guess. But
some kind of autolearning-function that remembers everything you typed could
be quite cool indeed, something like the auto-completion of urls in
browsers.
