mp3 tag/rename based on creation (last modified date)

Arg, I'm trying to figure out how to create a album tag based on the last modified date stamp for files which don't have a corresponding .talk file.
IE. 2009 12 10 - Talk Radio.mp3 is how I want them structured, they should all have a corresponding .talk file so my mp3 player can speak the name ie 2009 12 10 - Talk Radio.mp3.talk.
Any file with a .talk file should be skipped because its already been processed manually by me. Here is what I've got in my script so far...

Code:
#!/bin/bash
for f in *.mp3
do
        # if .talk backup file exists, read next file
        if [ -f ${f}.talk ]
        then
                echo "Skiping $f file..."
                continue  # read next file
        fi
        # no talk file exists
        DATE=`stat -c "%y" $f | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/-/ /g'`
        id3v2 -A "$DATE" "$f"
        mp3rename $f
done

for f in *.mp3
do
        # if .talk backup file exists, read next file
        if [ -f ${f}.talk ]
        then
                echo "Skiping $f file..."
                continue  # read next file
        fi
        # no talk file exists
        echo $f > temp.tmp
        text2wav temp.tmp -o temp.wav
        rbspeexenc temp.wav $f.talk
done
