Never have used cart chunk, as our library was ripped to MP3 via iTunes on Mac before I got here and there were no markers to deal with. However, you could use RDmarkerset to set them quickly from the command line once imported to Rivendell. It won't set the talk markers, but will do start, end, and segue. My experience has been that is about the old 80/20 acceptable (80% acceptable). What throws it off is threshold noise like turntable rumble, 50/60 cycle hum, or room noise on classical.
I imported a very large library of over 30,000 tracks as our station bills itself as "everything from punk to Pavarotti", and RDmarkerset was a lifesaver. Importing to sequential carts makes it easy--then move the newly imported stuff to an empty group, and apply RDmarkerset to that group. Here's what I used: rdmarkerset --verbose --auto-trim=-71 --auto-segue=-40 --group=TMP Depending on your setup, you may have to sudo the command. You could also do this as a command line import with RDimport--although I couldn't, because segue marker under RDimport was not working on our version (2.10.3), but I think that has been fixed in later versions. Check the command switches if you use RDimport, because in our version, they are not the same wording as RDmarkerset. --Chuck W.
