Build aup from file list, timecode and label list via command line

Not sure if this is in the documentation but wondering if there is a way to script adding hundreds of small audio files programmatically to an audacity timeline / wave track at a specific start points and do the same for labels. Tried generating an aup file's xml but no success substituting .mp3 or .aiffs for .au files.

Yes, you could do that with Python. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/scripting.html
