1. If you have DJ-mix or album on YouTube that you'd like to generate a [CUE sheet][cue] for.
2. The video has timestamps in the video description.
3. The video is publicly available on Youtube.
`youtube-cue` will read the video description, get the timestamps and generate a [CUE sheet][cue] accordingly.
## Anti-features
1. It does not download tracks from YouTube
2. It does not split your tracks
3. It does not tag your tracks.
For all of the above, there are better tools available, such as [youtube-dl](https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/), [m4acut](https://github.com/nu774/m4acut), [mp3splt](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3splt/), [cuetools](https://github.com/svend/cuetools), [beets](https://beets.io) and many more. youtube-cue tries to [do one thing well](https://onethingwell.org/).
You need to pass 2 parameters, a Youtube URL and a output CUE filename. YouTube short URLs (`youtu.be`) are accepted. You can additionally pass a `audio-file` argument which is used for the [`FILE` specified in the CUE file][cuefile].
