Siren will automatically rename the files with a number on the front;
there are probably other renaming utilities that will do the same. It can
generate names from a number of variables (including mp3 tag info), but
for your case you would just tell it to make a name of the form "%n-%f",
which would add a selection number (%n) and a hyphen to the front of the
current filename (%f). Just a few clicks and you're done. Not exactly what
you were looking for perhaps, but the easiest workaround I can think of...
