You could store the "label" in the track information, either before or
after adding the track to the buffer. For instance, some code to change
the title of a youtube track under point:

(defun emms-ephemeral-title (title)
  (let ((track (emms-playlist-track-at (point))))
    (emms-track-set track 'info-title title)
    (emms-with-inhibit-read-only-t
     (kill-line)
     (emms-playlist-insert-track track))))

Such a change would be indeed ephemeral, since the track doesn't
represent a file, but this information would survive if you then saved
the playlist as a native emms playlist to load it later on.
