MSLICE

A simple tool to slice mp3s into smaller chunks using ffmpeg

Usage

./mslice $filepath <list_of_timestamps>

the <list_of_timestamps> is something like 2:43 7:18 11:28 where each timestamp is the start of a new slice. The first slice 0:00 2:43 and last 11:28 14:12 for example are made automagically.

Example usage

Given a youtube video id (the ?v=... variable in the address bar) fetch and slice it using the timestamps in the video description

~$ video=youtube_video_id filename="$(youtube-dl -x $video --get-filename)" youtube-dl -x $video --audio-format opus && ./mslice.sh "${filename%.*}".opus $(for i in $(echo $(youtube-dl --get-description $video) | grep -Po '\d+:\d+'); do echo $i; done)

TODO

• Sanity check (working dir, file existing...)
• slice renaming
• bulk entry (copypaste from yt description)
• simple gui with zenity?
• ?
