Brings up an interesting point -- do track names have to be
numbered? It's fun and nice to be able to name things, but I don't
know if this is best done in the filename or in the front end. It
could always default to numbers if the user provides no name.
e.g. "guitar-slinky-OD1.whatever"
(though I don't know if this applies suffix since you wouldn't know
how to characterize each take until after you'd done it. :) )
