	Well, I'm still not finding anything. Of course, I'm also running out 
of ideas on what exactly to search for...
	My next thought is to search inside the files on this machine for 
"Artist - Title" which is one of the available filename formats. I'm 
thinking that file would be the one I need to edit to create the 
filename pattern I want.
	IIRC, grep is the command I'm looking for. I wonder if there is a gui 
frontend for it? Time to crack open Synaptic again... :)
