Thanks for the answer, I'll forward it to the system manager.
I did select the cut in the cart (else the import dialog doesn't appear).
Filename contains an & (avicii & aloe blacc - wake me up.wav), is that a
problem?
All audio files are 16 bit .wav files.
I know it's going to be a lot of work to code all the songs, but I know that's
worth it. As a start I will code around 400-500 songs for non-stop playout and
as soon as that's working, I'll start coding more and more songs. Is it
possible, if I do a (bulk) import, to code all songs with the "UNTAGGED" code I
created? So they're easy to find and easy to keep out of the non-stop.
Kind regards,
Peter van Embden

Using this method you have to select the CUT in the CART then hit Import/Export.
However
If you are importing audio files which have filenames with unacceptable
characters like ";" and some Umlaut, then RD won't play ball. "*" is guaranteed
not to work.
I would have the guru line up a selection [say 20] music files [copies not the
originals] in a folder and from the command line use [ having cd to the folder]
rdimport --verbose --delete-source MUSIC(or whatever the group is you want to
import into) *.wav,mp3,ogg.(the type of file your music is in)
The rdimport will tell you whats happening and why.
Your music may be in some format that is not enabled in rdimport. eg: It may
be mp3 sampled too low in resolution.
Depending on the problem there is a solution.
I have a file renaming script which works on a library I have been importing.
It's a collection of the various name glitches which we eliminate by running
the filename through sed.
#! /bin/bash
for i in ./*mp3;do mv -- "$i" "${i/ - /-}";done
for i in ./*mp3;do mv -- "$i" "${i/[!@#\$%^&*()]/}";done
The format will enable the guru to work through your files. If you add the
local things you need to clean out as they come up you can get a 20+ line
script which can make a large number of files usable by running the script
once.
rdimport can then be used to take filenames and put the artist title etc in the
right place.
caveat: rdimport will have a file limit and I suggest 1000. Your system may do
more but thats a manageable bunch of song titles.
Importing a big library will take time but it's definitely worth it.
