I would highly recommend to transfom every sound file in Broadcast Wave
Format with .wav estension (not .BWF).
It means you can rename the file with a proper description of what it is
and have a very comprehensive amount of data you can add in the metadata.
BWF Metaedit is the perfect software for this purpose.
Just browse and search for it and you will be able to download it from
surceforge.
You can follow this guideline on how and what you can embed in your
metadata:

You then don't really need printuots of your files names to keep track
of them, as you can search them through the OS finder and specific
software for it like:
Soundminer
Nuendo MediaBay
or similar.
Thanks.
