Hi Michael
sndfile-metadata-get somefile.ogg > sometextfile.txt
in a shell script will give you the metadata in a file you can import
back as Artist Title and whatever else you want into an array.
the put the varius bits in an rdimport line as --set-string-field=string
options
for
from the beginning of the list to the end
do
read the metadata into a text file
read the text file to get desired data
$1 $2 $3 etc
redimport --verbose --set-string-artist=$whichever one is artist
--set-string-title=$whichever one is title GROUP $filename.ogg
You can put in any number of options man rdimport tells all.
I would copy the files into a directory somewhere and use --
delete-source then the ones left over are the ones you are going to have
to manually import
if your bash script fu is not that great send me an email with a copy of
one file and i will bash something out.
command line is your very powerful frend.
regards
Robert

Well, rdimport worked fine for me for a bunch of mp3 files. However, I
have another 450+ .ogg files. Unfortunately, the filenames are all
numbers, like 10005-03, 10005-18, 10015-08, 10015-10, etc. I can open
these in MediaPlayer, Audacity, etc. and see the metadata with name
and artist, etc. but the metadata does not import into Rivendell like
it did with the mp3 files.
I am using the following command:
rdimport --verbose --segue-level=-10 MUSIC *.ogg 2>> errorlog.txt
That command worked fine with the mp3 files, inputting the title,
artist, and other info. With the ogg files, it puts "Imported from
10005-03.ogg" as the cart title and no other info.
I've never messed with ogg files before. I must be missing something.
Thanks for any help.

Aha, forgot about command line tools.

In my feeble memory, I seem to recall there was a way to bulk add
audio
files. I have a couple hundred songs to import into Rivendell and
adding
one at a time will take forever. Any way to speed it up?
Thanks,
Michael
