Hi Ralph,
Many thanks btw to all for the prompt replies.
Here is the last file in the Science list:-

file:///home/alastair/NFS_Multimedia_NFS/AV_multimedia/Music/Radio_Programme/In_Our_Time_Science/153 In_Our_Time_Archive_Science_-_IOT_The_Royal_Society_and_British_Science_Episode_4_iots_20100107-0900a.mp3

I have no idea how the numbering was achieved and looking at the metadata the file is showing as a podcast.

 From the unsorted directory in my system they fall into two types, those already numbered although again I have no recollection of how they were numbered, and those without numbers.

Here is the first of the list:-
file:///home/alastair/NFS_Multimedia_NFS/AV_multimedia/Music/Radio_Programme/In_Our_Time_Unsorted/In_Our_Time_-_716._The_Sikh_Empire_b075t5mn_default.m4a.  The numbering stopped at 815.  The files then have a slightly different look.  Here is the first of the un-numbered files:-

file:///home/alastair/NFS_Multimedia_NFS/AV_multimedia/Music/Radio_Programme/In_Our_Time_Unsorted/In_Our_Time_-_A_Midsummer_Nights_Dream_m00046rp_podcast.m4a

Here is the last on my database:-

file:///home/alastair/NFS_Multimedia_NFS/AV_multimedia/Music/Radio_Programme/In_Our_Time_Unsorted/In_Our_Time_With_Melvyn_Bragg_-_IOT_Zen_04_Dec_14_iot_20141204-1140a.mp3

Will these help?
Meanwhile I shall take a look at the wiki and also on BBC archive.
Regards,
Budge
