For this and similar reasons, I've chosen to set up new Groups with
specific cart number ranges, but leaving "Enforce Cart Range" unchecked.
This makes it easier to move carts between groups. May not fit your use
case or workflow, but I think there's no harm in *not* enforcing ranges
in a group. I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this.

If the metadata is "good" in the audio files (and thus in the Rivendell
Library), one *could* write a script to look up Cart titles, artists,
etc. and skip importing them, but for this small number of tracks it
might be easier to, as you say, delete the group (and all the Carts in
it), and start over.
Let me know if you'd like some help with a script. It would be something
like:
for file in *.ogg ; do
f_artist=$(get metadata artist from "${file}")
f_title=$(get metadata title from "${file}")
f_album=$(get metadata album from "${file}")
db_cartnum=$(mysql --options Rivendell -e "select NUMBER from CART
where GROUP_NAME = 'your-group-name' and ARTIST='${f_artist}' and TITLE=
'${f_title}' and ALBUM='${f_album}')
[[ -n "${db_cartnum}" ]] && continue
rdimport GROUPNAME "${file}"
done

Re: [RDD] RDImport issue only just appeared
I get the exact same error when running the commands manually. It is on every
single use of rdimport. I have no other information other than what i have
given to you

Re: [RDD] RDImport issue only just appeared
Do you get the error if you run the command manually?
What if you change the file name? The cut number?
"Invalid URL"? I don't like error messages that aren't complete. "File not
found: /blah/blah/whatever.wav" is a lot more helpful than just "File not
found". But I suppose YMMV.

The file exists the path is correct. I cannot work out why it cannot find
it. Even made sure cart exists which it does
