Thank you Fred.  Most of the options are pretty straight forward.  I've 
a couple quick questions though.

--group-name:  In nexgen, there are several groups: Alt1, Alt2, etc.. 
I'm not sure if nexgen defines groups in the same manner as Rivendell. 
Would it be more advisable to import them all in to Music and assign 
scheduler codes or should I create additional groups in RD?  I get the 
impression from the wiki that using the scheduler codes is the way to go 
but don't want to box myself into a corner so figured I'd ask first. 
It's not mentioned in the ROG and there's only a couple passing 
references to it on the wiki.  If I use the codes rather than making new 
rd groups, is there a way to assign a value to them, such that 
nexgen-group=rd-scheduler-code for each cut imported?

--normalization:  Standard rd normalization for rd is -13.  The default 
for this parameter is 0 (no normalization).  Should I normalize the 
imported songs to -13?

xml-file: Is this a predefined file or something exported from nexgen? 
If neither, is there a template or something somewhere that I can use? 
I presume it's required, not optional.

In rd-admin, system settings the sample rate is set to 48,000.  The 
source files are mostly .mp3 files so I'm guessing probably encoded at 
41,000.  When they're imported, will they be resampled at 48K?  Should I 
change the sample rate to 41K?

Thanks...
