What Info Do You Want In JAM Labels?

As an Old Time Radio collector, the essential items of information I need
are the series number, episode number, and date. Most old-time radio
collections on the internet are catalogued that way.

Old Time Radio collectors do not use Dean's system of numbering: from 1 to
infinity, beginning with s01e01 as number 1. That results in confusion. You
can't match an episode against the OTR collections and lists available
on-line if all you know is it's episode number 182 or 259.

Standard OTR cataloguing uses the following naming convention:-
[Series Title] - [Series & Episode Number] [Date] - [Episode
description].mp3

Example:-
Just A Minute - s01e01 1967-12-22 - Excuses for Being Late.mp3
