I think it only looks in the folder specified. We have several different

It’s my understanding that rdimport will import mp3 files and read the
metadata. It will also “wrap” the imported mp3 files as a “wav” file. Is this
true as well?
Thanks!!
I’m going to bulk rename the files and adjust my script accordingly. That seems
be the easiest way to go. Thanks for the input.

Recursion can be done with a little scripting. For example, see:

rdimport --verbose --segue-level=-10 MUSIC /home/rd/music_import/"1987 -

What format are you storing your audio files in? Mp2 or pcm wav? A way to

Hi...
I now have a 2TB drive mounted at /var that can hopefully contain the RD
music library in WAV format and I'm beginning to import files. As a
result I have a couple of queries.
I am navigating to the source music library root directory, which is a
read-only-mounted NTFS partition, and

Thus, in Rivendell, we make a strong separation: the audio store holds audio

Well, the other side of the coin is that if you have two copies of the
metadata, one in a MySQL database and the other in the file headers, then
you need some mechanism to keep them synchronized. Otherwise you become
the proverbial man with two watches who can never be sure what time it is.

There are several public standards for such, as well as a whole slew of _ad

IIRC, you can store a full complement of metadata in a WAV file and
there is a standard for it, it's just not commonly done. I must admit
that the one thing that has concerned me slightly is the fact that the
ingested files are completely unidentifiable - the idea of writing out

Yup. Better have a good backup plan in place!

Can you gives us a specific example of where this occurs?
Cheers!
Of course,
if you have the storage space and the horsepower, you could always export
all the audio every so often... This puts a lot of the metadata into the
files exported. Does it put it all? You can export to flac as well...
all the best,

Hi...
I am soon to ingest our music library using rdimport.
The source library structure is basically
~/Artistname/Albumname/trackfiles and they may be multiple album
subfolders in the Artistname folder.
We've spent quite a lot of time and effort getting our metadata in good
order so

Hi, Robert...
It's heading that way. I indeed picked up a used machine for the current
experiments and it should be fine for the application. Thankfully
storage is cheap too: I have a 2TB drive on its way. I'll let rdimport
ingest from the existing NTFS copy of the library and save its

Many thanks for these helpful comments, much appreciated.

Hi Richard,
I would heartily recommend you build a Rivendell system on a dedicated
computer.
You can source 2nd hand 64 bit machines relatively inexpensively and
they work quite well.
You may need to install a bigger drive for /var/snd depending on the
music library size, but you can run
