I'm using the full file names because I'm also setting the talk and segue markers and scheduler codes, etc via the script. The files do contain metadata but for some reason rdimport doesn't always read the artist field. I'll try importing some files using wildcards in the filespec  (*.flac) and see how that goes.

Hi Dave,

have you tried rdimport  [options] [GROUP] *.flac ?

or is it falling down in the      --metadata-pattern='%a - %t.flac'

Are you using CentOS or something else?

Do the flac files have metadata?

From memory [] brackets are not usually a problem

regards

Robert
