With MP3 you get crap quality if you want to burn them a CD.

You set logic to record. You have one nice mic for the singer, and one 
little one by your piano. You just say "Johnny Martin Exercise A" 
quietly into your mic recording on track 2 while the singer's mic is 
recording track 1. Later you remove the silent regions from track 2 and 
essentially have markers for when each audio begins. You can use those 
to cut the original audio file into smaller regions, and then use 
Logic's "Regions to New Audio Files Command".

If its really so important to name the files, you can do so later.

In this way you get great quality and do not need any helpers

I usually bounce down my musical drafts to AIFF and then burn to a CD 
for car listening. This has worked fine hundreds of times, but one time 
it made a bad file. And then I tried to burn the CD and it failed. I 
tried different software (Itunes, Toast), different drives, different 
computers. Everything crashed and I wasted dozens of disks. I called 
Apple and had to take my computer to the shop. I installed a new hard 
drive and a clean system. It took hours of my time. All this hassle and 
it turned out all to be due to one bad file.

Changes are the file was just a symptom of something else wrong.  
Probably the drive or maybe the motherboard.  The bad files don't cause 
the problem the problem caused the bad file and everything after that.
