I 'd like to change the filenames too. I often record short pieces with
Harpsichord/piano, usually about 15-20 in a row. Then I have to rename the 20
r-xxx.mp3 to renamed accurately. It would be nice to have some kind of
"recordlist file" containing, the prefix of the filename replacing the r, for
example:
inv01
inv02
prelude1
fuga1
...

would lead to files

inv01-xxxxx.mp3
...

Then pressing on next record button would automatically choose the next name
with the date/time (or a a counter) as a suffix. With this I would just play
the pieces in the correct order.
