You'll need to use Rivendell file metadata characters in the file name,
which will be replaced with the current month, day, and year. Something
like this: TST_%y-%m-%d_001.mp3   See Appendix D in the Rivendell
Operations Guide.

Note that you can't use generic masks in RDCatch file names, so no "*".
Because of that you'll need to have 20 separate RDCatch events, one for
each "_nnn" and cart combination.

Regards,
Mike
