we are talking about splitting one long YouTube video into a
collection of mp3s, one for each track/song in the YT video
create an mp3 for this YouTube (many of CCR's Greatest Hits):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmY01aOTshI
right-click on the mp3 file in your Windows folder and
select 'Edit with Wavepad Sound Editor' (which you have installed
- latest version is here:
https://wavepad.en.softonic.com/download)
create a list of the songs as sequenced in the YT video:
(I used OCR on the static YT video and then manually
corrected a few titles using
https://www.discogs.com/master/942009-Creedence-Clearwater-Revival-CCR-Forever-36-Greatest-Hits
and I later discovered there were three more songs at the end of the
video, making 23 songs in all)
01 - Have You Ever Seen The Rain
02 - Fortunate Son
03 - Bad Moon Rising
04 - Proud Mary
05 - Born On The Bayou
06 - Up Around The Bend
07 - Who'll Stop The Rain
08 - Lookin' Out My Back Door
09 - Run Through the Jungle
10 - Suzie Q
11 - Green River
12 - Cotton Fields
13 - The Midnight Special
14 - I Put A Spell On You
15 - Ramble Tamble
16 - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
17 - Hey Tonight
18 - Sweet Hitch-Hiker
19 - Long as I Can See the Light
20 - Wrote A Song For Everyone
21 - Someday Never Comes
22 - Commotion
23 - The Working Man
click on Levels in top horizontal menu in Wavepad
go to Normalize > Auto Normalize Settings
set Method to Perceived Loudness (dBA) > OK
go to Normalize > Auto Normalize
click on Edit in top horizontal menu
go to Split > Split at Silences
set Silence duration (ms) to 400
select Save to folder
set Output format to .mp3
edit Output location and Output name {a file prefix) to suit you
click on blue Split button
go to the Output location folder and delete the 10 very small
sized mp3s {caused by the short Silence duration which was necessary
because songs 17 and 18 are very close to each other}; anyway, you
should be left with 23 new mp3s
the last step is to rename each of the 23 mp3s with a song title;
this can be done manually using the song title list above; or, like
me, you can use a small free app named 'Extrabits' which has an
option to 'Multi Rename' files by simply pasting a list of replacement
names (and it can add a common prefix and a common suffix file type)
