Re: [RDD] File Name in RDLibrary

Things to try: use rdimport --verbose --delete-cuts --to-cart=[cartnum no leading 0] GROUP /path/to/file.mp3 with NO other switches and see what populates the Cart data. rdimport reads some but not all variants of mp3 tag sometimes failing because of junk in the tag file. rdimport on the command line is a lot easier to tune then the GUI. Also: Look at the file and try and locate the tag data. Tags can be ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4 and can contain characters which upset the importer. Some rippers include tag data with ~!@#$%^&*()_+|"?>< ®¥ and other symbols which bash looks at as commands.

Re: [RDD] Script for text file of songs/carts?
You can use RDLibrary. Select the group or do a search for the carts, then click report. Save the file as plain text.

[RDD] Script for text file of songs/carts?
Hello, Is there anything within the program to get a text file of all the carts or certain groups? If not, has anyone ever written a script to get this type of info in a text file or csv? Thank you!

Re: [RDD] File Name in RDLibrary
Ok, I used the %t and it labeled the cart name with the correct current cut title. However when you open the cart and look at the cuts, they are not titled, for instance in the description field. They are coming in from the ftp server as mp3's and rivendell is converting them to .wav files. Is the metadata being lost because of the conversion.

I am using .wav files. It shows the cart number/cut number, but no matter how I manipulate the file it doesn't seem to tag it. I am using the dropbox feature to import. I even used a third party software to try and tag it before importing. Any idea what to do? I am using the cart chunk feature in dropbox.
