Batch MP3 Editing

I have a puzzling newbie question:

I am trying to get a automate a program to edit MP3's. The program is
called Audion, and is a Mac OS9 app. This program is similar to iTunes in
that it has a playlist and player functions, but it also has an editor.

I am not sure if this program is scriptable, since the dictionary appears to
only have commands relating to the playlist functions, not the editor
functions. I am not sure if Finder scripting can help?

Anyway, here's my dilemma... Since I need to batch edit a whole bunch of MP3
files (cut them in half to make song samples and then paste on a small
commercial at the end), what I need is for the AppleScript to:

Select a menu item within Audion to open the editor.

Navigate to the correct folder where the MP3s are, then navigate to the
correct file (or next file) until there are no more files left to batch
process in that folder.

Click Open to open the next file.

Wait for the importing process to end (about 3-15 seconds).

Perform a series of actions such as Cut, Paste, Save.

Repeat until there are no more files left to process.

Alternatively - drag selected folder containing all the files to an
AppleScript icon for batch processing... Or automatically drag files one at
a time to the open editor window.

Anyway, I have no idea how to get AppleScript to keep selecting the next
file in the folder that I designate, or alternatively how to drag the next
file to the open editor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Mike
