YT-Splitter (MP3)

Downloads and splits audio tracks from a YouTube video according to the chapters/tracks. Useful for compilations or full album uploads.

This fork uses yt-dlp instead of youtube-dl and also gives mp3 with better quality (256kbps; VBR).

Requirements

yt-dlp and ffmpeg installed and in your PATH.

Install

1. Download the binary for your system from https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-splitter/releases
2. Rename it to yt-splitter
3. Place it in a directory which is in your PATH
4. Make it executable (chmod +x yt-splitter on Linux)

Usage

1. cd into the directory you want to save the tracks in. yt-splitter will automatically create a subdirectory with the title of the video and save the tracks in it.
2. Execute yt-splitter VIDEOID (VIDEOID can be a YouTube video id or a URL to a YouTube video)
