Do you find it annoying when songs on YouTube are recorded quietly and there is a long silence before and after the song?

*Trimmer* corrects this by generating the normalized MP3 for you:

1. Downloads a song from a URL on Youtube (thanks to [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) and [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp))
2. Trims down the silence at the beginning and at the end of a song (thanks to [pydub](https://github.com/jiaaro/pydub))
3. Normalizes volume (detects clipping), and applies fade-in and fade-out (thanks to [pydub](https://github.com/jiaaro/pydub))
4. Adds MP3 ID3 tags - both ID3v1 & ID3v2 (thanks to [eyed3](https://github.com/nicfit/eyeD3))
5. Creates an mp3 file with a unified name `Artist - Title.mp3`

## Downloading MP3
Create trimmed, normalized and tagged mp3 from Youtube URL:

```shell
trimmer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
```
![Usage example](https://github.com/igrek51/trimmer/blob/master/docs/img/screenshot-1.png?raw=true)

## Editing MP3
```shell
trimmer "unknown001.mp3"
```

From this:  
**unknown001.mp3**  
![Usage example](https://github.com/igrek51/trimmer/blob/master/docs/img/song_amp_bad.png?raw=true)  
trimmer does that:  
**Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells Part I.mp3**  
![Usage example](https://github.com/igrek51/trimmer/blob/master/docs/img/song_amp_good.png?raw=true)

You can also trim song manually using `--trim-start` and `--trim-end` (e.g. for cutting long applause at the end of song).

## Installation
```shell
pip3 install trimmer
```

It requires Python 3.6 (or newer) with pip.

For Linux make sure that required libs are installed: `apt install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra`

For Windows you might need to put [ffmpeg binaries](https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/) to `PATH`.

## Upgrading
Keep up-to-date frequently changing dependencies (due to Youtube API changes):
```shell
pip3 install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager trimmer
```
or do the same with:
```shell
trimmer --upgrade
```
