  <para>
    <command>rdimport</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum> is a command-line tool
    for importing one or more audio files into the Rivendell Radio
    Automation System. By default, a new cart will be created for each file
    imported, although this behavior can be modified by use of the
    appropriate options (see the <option>--single-cart</option>
    and <option>--to-cart</option> options, below).  A
    <replaceable>filespec</replaceable> of <userinput>-</userinput> will
    cause the list of filespecs to be read from standard input.

  <title>NOTES</title>
  <para>
    It may be necessary to enclose individual
    <replaceable>filespec</replaceable> clauses in quotes in order to
    protect wildcard characters from expansion by the shell.  A typical
    indicator that this is necessary is the failure of
    <command>rdimport</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum> to process newly
    added files when running in DropBox mode.

    It could be argued that RMS rather than peak normalization would be
    more appropriate for use with the <option>--normalization-level</option>
