split-to-tracks

A CLI tool to split a single MP3 track into multiple tracks, complete with title and track number metadata.

Get started

1. Clone the repo

2. Build the Docker image

~ $ make build

3. Find an MP3 file that you want to split

~ $ ls -1 ~/Desktop
jungle-live-at-la-cigale.mp3

4. Create a text file that contains a track listing with titles and start times

# listings.txt
0:00 Intro
1:35 Platoon
6:46 Julia
11:11 Crumbler
15:15 The Heat
19:45 Smoking Pixels
22:36 Accelerate
27:47 Lemonade Lake
32:39 Son of a Gun
37:05 Lucky I Got What I Want
42:39 Drops
49:05 Busy Earnin
56:54 Time

5. Run split_to_tracks

~ $ ./split_to_tracks ~/Desktop/jungle-live-at-la-cigale.mp3 listings.txt

The output tracks will be in a directory in the same location as the MP3 file.

~ $ ls -1 ~/Desktop/jungle-live-at-la-cigale/
Accelerate.mp3
Busy Earnin.mp3
Crumbler.mp3
Drops.mp3
Intro.mp3
