you can set start and end dates and times by putting the data in the filename as in

news-item2-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS,YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-pope.wav

then run rdimport in a shell script including a line like
startdate=$(cut -d- -f3 <<<"news-item2-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS,YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-pope.wav") starttime=$(cut -d- -f4 <<<"news-item2-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS,YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-pope.wav")

enddate=$(cut -d- -f5 <<<"news-item2-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS,YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-pope.wav")

end time=$(cut -d- -f6 <<<"news-item2-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS,YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-pope.wav")
and using
--set-datetimes=$startdate$starttime$enddate$endtime
in an rdimport command line

bit of an effort to code but  sets them as you want
start date and end date offset work similarly



mp3 tags go more or less where you might hope but don't put any faith in them
cart chunk is an audacity request

According to the documents its rdimport can set cut start/end dates in

How does an input file "reference" start/end dates?  The
metadata-pattern doesn't mention fields for this.  Does rdimport read
ID3 tags or something?
