I've had a quick play and it seems that the file name is read from the
xml file. Data can be imported without naming the audio file at the
command line.
Values stored in a single xml data file can be imported to multiple
audio files. e.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<conformance_point_document>
<File name="test1.wav">
<Core>
<CodingHistory>A=ANALOGUE,M=mono,T=Studer810; Sn1234; 15 ips; open reel
tape
A=PCM,F=96000,W=24,M=mono,T=MytekADC96;
Sn1234
A=PCM,F=96000,W=24,M=mono,T=Wavelab;
Sn1234
</CodingHistory>
</Core>
</File>
<File name="test2.wav">
<Core>
<CodingHistory>A=ANALOGUE,M=mono,T=Studer810; Sn1234; 15 ips; open reel
tape
A=PCM,F=96000,W=24,M=mono,T=MytekADC96;
Sn1234
A=PCM,F=96000,W=24,M=mono,T=Wavelab;
Sn1234
</CodingHistory>
</Core>
</File>
<File name="test3.wav">
<Core>
<CodingHistory>A=ANALOGUE,M=mono,T=Studer810; Sn1234; 15 ips; open reel
tape
A=PCM,F=96000,W=24,M=mono,T=MytekADC96;
Sn1234
A=PCM,F=96000,W=24,M=mono,T=Wavelab;
Sn1234
</CodingHistory>
</Core>
</File>
</conformance_point_document>
Data can be imported to all three audio files with the single command;
bwfmetaedit --in-core=test.xml
