I'm also not aware of any pre-canned method but I can tell you that an
Applescript that can do this is possible to write assuming you know the
basics. The problems would be the time required for it to run which is
dependent on the number of tracks/records involved and error checking.
On a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is the easiest, I'd rate it as a 3 or 4

If you'd care to contact me off list we can discuss it in more detail.
