Playlist Decompiler

playlist_decompiler is a Python script that automates the process of downloading a Youtube video, splitting it into tracks, and applying metadata to each track. This project consists of the main Python script (playlist_decompiler.py) and a series of helper scripts.

Prerequisites

Before running Playlist Decompiler, make sure to install the following prerequisites:

• youtube-dl-nightly
• ffmpeg

Scripts

This project consists of several scripts, each of which you can also use separately:

• playlist_decompiler: The main Python script that executes all tasks in sequence.
• name_tilde_destroyer.sh: A bash script that cleans up the filename of the downloaded audio file.
• opus_to_m4a_converter.sh: A bash script that converts the downloaded audio file to a format that's suitable for ffmpeg manipulations.
• single_file_playlist_splitter.py: A Python script that splits the audio file into tracks based on timestamps provided in a text file.
• metadata_buster_edit_me.py: A Python script that applies metadata to each track.

Usage

To use Playlist Decompiler, run the playlist_decompiler script with the appropriate arguments:

python playlist_decompiler.py [-h] [-a] [-f] [-d DIRECTORY] txt_file video_url`

• txt_file: Path to the text file with timestamps and song names. video_url: URL of the video to download.
• -a, --approve: Approve each metadata change. Typing $f instead of the new title, if you are asked, is a shorthand for making the title the filename.
• -f, --folder: Use the last folder's name as the artist name.
• -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY: Specify the directory containing the files. By default, it's the current working directory.
• -h: Optional. Displays the help text.
