albumcutter

albumcutter is a tool to download albums on youtube and break the audio into individual tracks based on a tracklist containing timestamps.

How to use

Specify the URL of the audio you wish to download, and copy the tracklist into your clipboard and invoke the command like so:

ac -d Top_20_Kevin_MacLeod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6CLOO0qIx4

ac will ask you to confirm the contents of the clipboard in case you made a mistake.

In this example, you can rip the tracklist off of the video description. (pasted below for reference):
