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

PYTAGS(1) [FIXME: manual] PYTAGS(1) NAME
pytags - set and remove tags on media files from filename and options SYNOPSIS
pytags [OPTIONS] file [file...] DESCRIPTION
pytags is a simple, general-purpose tool for setting and removing media file tags. With no options, pytags prints a tag summary for all files specified on the command line. Options can be used to set and remove tags on files. Using --format, it is easy to change or create tags on by parsing metadata from filenames according to an arbitrary format string. This makes it simple to tag files that are consistently named. Additionally, tags can be manipulated directly with the --add, --set, and --remove options. These options are processed in order, so options specified later on the command-line may cause values set by earlier options to be overwritten. These options must appear after the --format, if it is used. OPTIONS
--add=EXPR Append a tag value all files according to EXPR. EXPR should be an expression like "artist=Foo". May be specified multiple times to add multiple values. --format=FORMAT Tag files with metadata extrapolated from filenames using format string FORMAT; see the section called "FORMAT STRINGS". This option must be specified before --add, --set, or --remove. --set=EXPR Set a single tag on all files according to EXPR. EXPR should be an expression like "artist=Foo". May be specified multiple times to set multiple tags. --set cannot be used to specify multiple values for a single tag. To do that, use --remove followed by multiple --add options. --remove=TAG Remove tags named TAG. May be specified more than once to remove multiple tags. -h, --help Show summary of options and exit. -v, --version Show version of program and exit. FORMAT STRINGS
The format string expected by --format is the same as that for pytagsfs. See the pytagsfs manual page for more information. EXAMPLES
Remove the genre tag from all .ogg files in the current directory. $ pytags --remove genre *.ogg Set the artist and album tag on all .mp3 files, and remove the genre tag. $ pytags --set artist=Foo --set album=Bar --remove genre *.mp3 Tag all of the .flac files in the current directory. All such files are assumed to be in the format "tracknum artist - trackname [album].flac". $ pytags --format '%n %a - %t [%l].flac' *.flac BUGS
Please report bugs on launchpad at http://launchpad.net/products/pytagsfs/+bugs. pytags relies on mutagen (the underlying Python tags library) to choose an appropriate tag format for the files being tagged. This cannot currently be overridden. SEE ALSO
