Importing Avid-style Op-Atom MXFs with discrete audio

I have a big folder full of Op-Atom MXF files, created for Avid dailies.  The video and audio are in separate files, like this:

A001C001_161213_R0ZQ.mxf

A001C001_161213_R0ZQ_A01.mxf

A001C001_161213_R0ZQ_A02.mxf

A001C002_161213_R0ZQ.mxf

A001C002_161213_R0ZQ_A01.mxf

A001C002_161213_R0ZQ_A02.mxf

What's the best way to import these to Premiere?  When I import only the video files, the audio is detected and married automatically.  So that's what I want to do.  But with this naming convention, there is no way to sort the list and easily leave out all the audio files.  When I import the entire folder, I end up with a bunch of audio files in my bin, which need to be deleted.

    Hi Elliott,

    Try importing your media from the Media Browser.
