File naming convention?

We seem to be on quite a run of sharing atm, so I'd
just like to drop something into the mix that's been
on my mind for a while;
Taking a random selection of Peel related files on my
hard drive, I have things with names like:
1979-12-12a.mp3
BBC Radio 1 - John Peel Party 40 October 1979 - 03 -
Cassette Two Side A.mp3
JP 11 July 1990 1A.mp3
02.08.13 - john peel.mp3
etc. etc.
 In order to know what I actually have and don't have,
I've started renaming them all in the following
format:
Peel 01-02-03 (session act). mp3 
or for Festive Fifty's:
FF03(5-32).mp3

Perhaps we could agree to adopting some such
convention for files we share ?   The format I'm using
is simply one that sorts well on a Mac, but I'm open
to suggestions if anyone has any better ideas...
Thanks again to all those involved. When I get a
minute I'll be adding to the pot,
cheers
Roger
