Are the file names humanly readable?
I've just imported audio from an old Master control/Selector system today.
The files are terrible names. eg {034ef-34dfa0-5433}.wav .
I managed to make a txt back up of audio and save as an xml....
convert to a csv... which I opened in Libre Office .... checked for
errors... and then used the csv to rename the audio to mp2 (song
title@artist name@album [email protected]).... then open them with
Audacious... spit them out to a PCM wave... then using rdimport with
the metadata option to name the fields correctly for Rivendell.

Many thanks
Geoff Barkman
