Motivation

I want to convert a comment or description from youtube without alot effort to a cuesheet.

Usage

ytc2cue expects the input on stdin or a path to a file as the firstparameter and writes to stdout:

$ ytc2cue < youtube_comment.txt > cuesheet.cue 
$ ytc2cue youtube_comment.txt > cuesheet.cue 

Input text format

First line is the interpret, second line is the album name, thrid line is blank. The remaining lines until EOF are formatted as follow: <time> <track title>

Heres an example:

Dethklok
Dethalbum II

00:00 Bloodlines
3:29 The Gears
7:48 Burn The Earth Laser
11:46 Cannon Deth Sentence
16:17 Black Fire Upon Us
21:49 Dethsupport
24:28 The Cyborg Slayers
28:42 I Tamper With the Evidence at the Murder Site Of Odin
