Prerequisites

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
  • Download from: https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/5/165255E7-1014-4D0A-B094-B6A430A6BFFC/vcredist_x86.exe

List of scripts

• convert_DIR_to_mp3.bat and convert_to_mp3.bat https://github.com/scMarth/batch_convert_to_mp3

  • These two batch scripts can be used to convert video files into .mp3 files

• convert_DIR_to_95dBmp3.bat and convert_to_95dBmp3.bat

  • These two scripts are exactly the same as convert_to_mp3.bat and convert_DIR_to_mp3.bat, except afterwards, resulting mp3s are then normalized to 95dB using mp3gain so that the variation in perceived 'loudness' between resulting mp3 files is minimized.

• yt_download.bat

  • Reads download_list.txt which is a text file containing youtube links, one per line, and then downloads each of them into a video file named using its respective Youtube video title.

• rename.py

  • A generic skeleton for a Python script that can be modified for renaming files
