youtube-mp3-split

Split large mixtapes from Youtube by their timestamps

Prerequisite

1. Python 3.6
2. ffmpeg
3. youtube-dl (Optional)

How to use

The best way to use it would be to use the following sample

1. Download the .mp3 of a Youtube video. The best way to download would be to use youtube-dl

   youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QKQlf8r7ls

2. Remove the spaces of the downloaded file. This can be easily fixed. Say the new name of the downloaded file is big_file.mp3

3. Copy the time stamp details from the "Details" section of the video or from the comments

4. CRUCIAL PART

   • Create a time stamp file in a .csv file format with separator as |
   • I have supplied a sample time stamp file for the above URL. The name of the file is song_list.csv
   • Make sure to create a NULL row as shown in the sample file. The NULL row denotes when the song ends.
   • If you don't create this row, the last song won't be created.

5. Use the following command

   python3 time_split.py song_list.csv big_file.mp3 "Marvel83" "Back To The 80s - Best of Synthwave And Retro Electro Music Mix"

6. All .mp3s will be generated in the current directory

PS: If your song does not have a singular artist or the songs belong to different albums, then put empty arguments inside double quotes.

This is a very basic first attempt at creating such a script. There might be bugs and un-handled exceptions ;_;
