Anki Cards - Batch Import

The user wants to batch import over 5,000 Anki cards that each reference an audio file. The document provides steps to automate this process: 1. Add a formula to the spreadsheet to generate text in the format "[sound:filename]" for each audio file. 2. Copy all audio files to the Collection.media folder in the Anki user folder. 3. Create a new Anki deck and card template with an audio field. 4. Import the spreadsheet, mapping the audio column to the audio field, to import all cards with linked audio files.
