while ls -tr gives:
Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275_Mvt.1_Amoroso.mp3 Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275_Mvt.2_Allegro_con_spirito.mp3 Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275_Mvt.3_Minuetto.mp3 Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275_Mvt.4_Rondo_-_Andante.mp3
(assuming the directory where the command is issued contains only these files). Presently, since those are just excerpts and there are many more files in that dir, I am navigating to that dir and doing ls -tr
ls-tr_date.txt. I then go into that text file with an editor adding "cat"at the beginning of the piece, taking out carriage returns between movments, and adding >~/MyMusic/name-of-piece.mp3 at the end of the movement. Using the above output, this would look like;
cat Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275_Mvt.1_Amoroso.mp3
Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275_Mvt.2_Allegro_con_spirito.mp3
Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275_Mvt.3_Minuetto.mp3
Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275_Mvt.4_Rondo_-_Andante.mp3
~/MyMusic/Boccherini_-_Quintet_for_Strings_in_E_G.275.mp3
Then I cut and paste this into an xterm wherein I have navigated to the dir containing the files, then hit return. This is as streamlined as I've been able to get with this so far. Still time-consuming and a bit cumbersome, but I've progressed a little.

PS Again, the above excerpts, where movement number is actually given, are exceptions to the rule. I just selected output that has numbers since I thought it would more readily demonstrative of what I'm doing.
