Convert, normalize, tag and rename youtube-dl downloads

Outline

These small bash scripts help you manage the musics downloaded from Youtube.

Convert to MP3 or M4A/AAC, to ensure better compatibility with playing systems
Normalize audio using MP3Gain or AACGain
Add tags, using MPGtx an AtomicParsley
Rename files using the "Artist - Title" format.

Installation

For this to work, you need to manually install

youtube-dl: have this available in your path, i.e. youtube-dl --version should work
AtomicParsley: unzip the archive in the wez-atomicparsley/ subdirectory, then compile it.

Also do:

sudo apt-get install mp3gain aacgain mpgtx ffmpeg

Usage

./yt.sh YOUTUBEID where YOUTUBEID is the set of 8 to 10 characters at the end of Youtube URLs. Converted files are stored in the output/ subfolder.
