Migrations tend to be ‘one off’ projects by their very nature. Not only does
each ‘legacy’ system have its own way of storing data (some *much* more
accessible than others!), but even with a given manufacturer and product those
things can vary according to the specific software version in play.
I would start by getting a few audio files out of the existing system and
importing them into Rivendell. It’s entirely possible that everything you need
is there already, and Rivendell will just populate the cart labels accordingly
as part of the import. If not, then it’s time to think about getting out the
big hammer.
Cheers!
