Re: [RDD] Bulk Add Audio Files

[Robert Jeffares]

Hi Michael

sndfile-metadata-get somefile.ogg > sometextfile.txt

in a shell script will give you the metadata in a file you can import 
back as Artist Title and whatever else you want into an array.


the put the varius bits in an rdimport line as --set-string-field=string 
options


for

from the beginning of the list to the end

do

read the metadata into a text file

read the text file to get desired data

$1 $2 $3 etc

redimport --verbose --set-string-artist=$whichever one is artist 
--set-string-title=$whichever one is title GROUP $filename.ogg


You can put in any number of options man rdimport tells all.

I would copy the files into a directory somewhere and use -- 
delete-source then the ones left over are the ones you are going to have 
to manually import


if your bash script fu is not that great send me an email with a copy of 
one file and i will bash something out.



command line is your very powerful frend.

regards

Robert

it did with the mp3 files.


I am using the following command:

rdimport --verbose --segue-level=-10 MUSIC *.ogg 2>> errorlog.txt

That command worked fine with the mp3 files, inputting the title, 
artist, and other info. With the ogg files, it puts "Imported from 
10005-03.ogg" as the cart title and no other info.


I've never messed with ogg files before. I must be missing something.

Thanks for any help.

  Metadata on the Ogg-based formats have always been a
bit ‘wild west’, with no recognized standard schema. Hence,
Rivendell doesn’t even try to use it. If you have the data in
some external form —e.g. spreadsheet, CSV file, etc — you can
script rdimport(1) to utilize it. See the audio importers at:

Well, rdimport worked fine for me for a bunch of mp3 files. However, I 
have another 450+ .ogg files. Unfortunately, the filenames are all 
numbers, like 10005-03, 10005-18, 10015-08, 10015-10, etc. I can open

By the way, several folks hang out in #rivendell on IRC: 
chat.freenode.net. Might be a more expedient way to get quick answers to 
simple questions...

Re: [RDD] Bulk Add Audio Files

[R. Choy]

A friend wrote this for me. It took a mass of files and imported them 
into RD. Haven't used it in awhile.


cat massimport.sh



#!/bin/bash

echo "Create a Rivendell group name and enter it below"
read GROUP

IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")

for i in `find /media/ |grep -i \.mp3$`; do
    rdimport --verbose --fix-broken-formats --segue-level=-10 $GROUP ''$i''
done

for i in `find /media/ |grep -i \.wav$`; do
    rdimport --verbose --fix-broken-formats --segue-level=-10 $GROUP ''$i''
done

echo
echo "Finished. Press enter to quit."
read junk
