EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I just bought an Akai format CD-ROM.  Converted the disc to EXS24 with Translator.  
Unfortunately the CD-ROM programmers named all the samples within each
program the same e.g.  "1. AIF"  "2. AIF" "3. AIF" etc.
So, of course the EXS24 gets confused when it looks for the correct samples.  The
standard window comes up saying more than one sample found and offers me a
maximum of three choices.  Problem is the correct sample is
usually not among those three choices listed.

Has anyone found a workaround for this situation yet?  I realize a similar topic came 
up a while ago regarding duplicate instrument names.

For now I'm looking at renaming a thousand-odd samples - or picking up a cheap 
S3000.  Neither option is appealing.

thanks,
Andy
