Hi,
didn't check your forms limiting the search, assuming it works,
IIUC your question, use:
(while
(query-replace-regexp YOUR-FIRST-REGEXP (if (and transient-mark-mode
mark-active) (region-beginning)) (if (and transient-mark-mode
mark-active) (region-end)) t 1)
(replace-match (concat (match-string-no-properties 3)
(match-string-no-properties 1) (match-string-no-properties 2) "-S.L.mp3")))
HTH
