Names of iTunes Music Files

Question

I copied (imported?) several songs from one of my CDs into iTunes. The filenames appearing on the monitor are something like file01, file02, etc. I transferred (downloaded?) those files to my iPod Namo. So far, so good. I copied several more songs from a different CD into iTunes. Again, the filenames are something like file01, file02, etc. I transferred those files to my iPod Nano.
The first group of songs was again downloaded to the iPod along with the second group. I'd like to copy more CDs, but I don't want to download the first group for the third time.
I wanted to rename the files; but I can't find them. I looked at the names of all the files in the iTunes directory and subdirectories. I don't see any filename that I recognize.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks very much.

1. When I say files I mean .mp3 music that I am transferring from my hard drive into my iTunes account so that they may be transferred onto an iPod and iPhone.
You do not and cannot transfer files "from your hard drive into iTunes". If the file is on your computer's hard drive, you "add the file" to your iTunes Library. iTunes is an index (or list) of your music. The music is not "in iTunes".

1. ... And yes the actual file name in Windows is being altered.
2.  This happens to song titles.  For instance on my computer "Level 4- dance mix" becomes "Track 1" on iTunes and also on my iPod after files are imported into iTunes
Okay - let's be clear;
what is the filename (in your computer's explorer) of the "Level 4- dance mix" before you add it to iTunes?
what does that filename become after adding the song to the iTunes library?
What track title (song name) and artist is displayed by iTunes once you have imported the file into your library?
Remind me later to explain what is happening with the numbering; 1, 10, 11, 2 etc.
