# CUE-sheet generator for youtube-dl

# Usage:
# 0. Install 'jq' utility
# 1. Download any audio file with metadata from YouTube or Youtube Music, e.g.
#    $ youtube-dl \
#          --extract-audio \
#          --audio-format flac \
#          --audio-quality 0 \
#          --format bestaudio \
#          --write-info-json \
#          --output "/tmp/ytm/%(playlist_title)s/%(channel)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s" \
#          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVpDQnXz34M
#
#    If audio file is already downloaded earlier then just fetch only its metadata:
#    $ youtube-dl \
#          --write-info-json \
#          --skip-download \
#          --output "/tmp/ytm/%(playlist_title)s/%(channel)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s" \
#          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVpDQnXz34M
#
# 2. Audio and metadata files MUST be named exactly similar (except extenstion),
#    but it is not necessary to keep original names. Also they MUST be placed in
#    the same directory. Example:
#    /tmp/ytm/ABGT496.flac
#    /tmp/ytm/ABGT496.info.json
#
# 3. To create CUE file run ytdlcue with a path to audio file:
#    $ ytdlcue.sh /tmp/ytm/ABGT496.flac
#
#    A new file will be created in the same directory:
#    /tmp/ytm/ABGT496.cue
