File naming conventions on OGA?

I frequently submit music to OGA, and up to this point, I've been submitting all songs as their names as the title. I was wondering if, to you game-devs and hobbyists, it would be more convenient to have the theme of the song rather than the mood?
i.e.
Rather than the title
"Malloga Ballinga"
We could have the theme of the song
"Upbeat Sci-Fi"
Which is better to you?
Thoughts and opinions?
The best way might be just to do both, with the theme first. Ideally, something like this
Upbeat Sci-Fi - "Malloga Ballinga" by professorlamp.wav
That being said, naming files like that is pretty tedious, so maybe it's something OGA could do on our end. How would people feel if OGA did a little bit of filename munging?
Sounds good to me. All my filenames are arbitrary already. Might as well make it easy for downloaders to trace it back to the OGA entry they got it from.
--Medicine StormI personally don't care about filenames, as long as the entries are searchable. I always rename the file when I import it into my project anyway.
In the case you mentioned, I'd personally name the submission the song's title, and then put the genre in both the tags and the description.
