timeSplit

Takes a list of timestamps and an audio file and splits it into individual songs. It is meant to be a companion tool to youtube-dl to turn large, single file albums into more music player friendly format and for archival purposes of obscure albums.

It depends on ffmpeg being installed and in the user's $PATH.

Installation

WIP

Usage

For reading timestamps/titles from stdin:

$ timesplit -i <audio> -l <end timestamp>

For reading timestamps/titles from a file:

$ timesplit -i <audio> -l <end timestamp> -t <timestamps.txt>

Roadmap

• Timestamp and title parsing.
• Read audio files.
• Audio file creation (splitting).
  • Multiple process creation.
• Command line arguments.
• Reversed format support ie, Song Name - Timestamp
• Automatic tag creation.

Limitations

• Since timestamps on YouTube are precise only to the second, clipping might occur when 2 songs aren't completely aligned to the second.

• Currently, it cannot find the total length of a song, so it needs to be provided by the user.
