Re: [RDD] RDImport Question

[Phil Biehl]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. I have a working command
that imports everything below the current directory and passes it to
rdimport. That way I can run this thing for as long as it takes to import my
8000+ mp3 and flac files onto my NAS. The main problem I had was the spaces
in file and folder names but Steve's command: find ./ -name "*.mp3" -print0
| xargs -0 -n1 rdimport GROUP took care of the spaces nicely.

My command lIne: 
find ./ -name "*.mp3" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 rdimport
--normalization-level=0 --fix-broken-formats --autotrim-level=0
--segue-level=-15 --verbose "New age"

Now I just have to wait a few days for this to complete on my little
Raspberry Pi.

Thanks all!
Phil

Hello,

Yes, this can be done using the find command together with rdimport.  

For example, if you have cd'ed into the top-level directory in which you
store the music files (and their hierarchy), you can run this to list all of
the files:  (Assumes .wav files)

find ./ -name "*.wav" -print0

That will traverse all directories beginning with the current directory
looking for files that end with .wav.  

Pipe that into xargs with rdimport:

find ./ -name "*.mp3" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 rdimport GROUP

where GROUP is the name of the group in Rivendell in which you want to
import.

I just tested this command and it worked for me.  Your mileage may vary.

find ./ -name "*.wav" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 rdimport --verbose TEST

The command runs rdimport once for each file.  You could also remove the -n1
and it will run rdimport with all of the files at 
once which should increase performance.  I'm not that daring though, so I
use -n1.  The default for -n is 5000 (I think) so if 
you have more than 5000 files to import using xargs then increase -n
accordingly.  Make sure you have enough free carts in the 
group too.

I don’t believe so. I did this in batches. I copied files from a folder into 
the music_import folder, imported them with RDImport, deleted the copied files, 
then did another batch until I got through them all. It took a while!

Braintrust,
I have a large number of music files I want to import to Riv that are divided 
up into folders and subfolders. I’m hoping that there is a way to get rdimport 
to process these files, traversing all these subfolders. Is there a way to do 
this?
