With a music file and a text file containing the time stamp and name of each track is there a program that would separate and name each of the tracks correctly?
The file is not ripped CD (cue, flac, etc). I have continuous normal opus file, extracted from youtube music file, and a text list of its contents as listed on youtube.
(Preferably GUI).
I"m on Kubuntu 22.04.
Instead of downloading/extracting the youtube audio and then trying to split it based on the separate list, one should consider that such music-video files may have chapters, with a separate chapter for each track (as the file in question had).
There is a youtube-dl fork that has an option to download the chapters separately (in fact it downloads also the full audio and then splits it).
It is called yt-dlp.
In order to download the best m4a audio in separate tracks:
yt-dlp -f ba[ext=m4a] --split-chapters URL
In order to first list the available formats:
yt-dlp -F URL
which gives something like:

249 webm audio only 2 │ 25.65MiB 56k https │ audio only opus 56k 48k low, webm_dash
...
and then download the desired audio format while splitting per chapter:
yt-dlp -f 139 --split-chapters URL
In order to automate that a bit, I have installed xclip. A shortcut can trigger the whole process (first selecting url, then using the shortcut) with a command like:
konsole --noclose -e yt-dlp -f ba[ext=m4a] --split-chapters $(xclip -o)
Or a desktop/panel launcher can be created, containing the same command:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=konsole --noclose -e yt-dlp -f ba[ext=m4a] --split-chapters $(xclip -o)
Icon=im-youtube
Name[en_US]=Download youtube chapters
Name=Download youtube chapters
After dragging it onto the Plasma panel, just select the URL and click the button:
UPDATE on Plasma: in Plasma KDE, xclip is not needed in fact, if the clipboard actions are used. More details in my related answers under here and here.
