How to extract Tracklist from a YouTube video

Perfect πŸ‘πŸ½ — here’s a step-by-step way you can pull out the song sequence from the YouTube video:


Step 1 – Open the video on YouTube


Step 2 – Check the description & comments

  • Scroll down under the video. Sometimes uploaders list tracks with timestamps in the description or in pinned comments.
  • If they’re there, copy them directly — they’ll already be in sequence.

Step 3 – Use the progress bar for timestamps

If no list is given:

  1. Play the video from the beginning.
  2. Each time the song changes, pause immediately and note the time (e.g., 00:00, 04:32, 08:57).
  3. Write down the title if the video shows it on screen — or describe the song (lyrics, hook, or standout phrase) if no title is displayed.

Step 4 – Check YouTube’s “Transcript” feature

  • Click the three dots (⋮) under the video (next to Save/Share).
  • Select “Show transcript.”
  • If the video has captions/subtitles, you’ll see the lyrics/words matched with timestamps.
  • Sometimes, uploaders manually insert track titles in the captions — which makes it easier to spot when a new track begins.

Step 5 – Build your list

  • Once you’ve identified all songs, arrange them like this:
00:00 – [Track 1 Title / Description]
04:32 – [Track 2 Title / Description]
08:57 – [Track 3 Title / Description]
…

That way, you’ll have a full sequential list — essentially a DIY tracklist.


Step 6 (Optional – Automation)

If you want to make it faster:

  • Use a YouTube timestamp tool (there are free online ones where you paste the URL and mark timestamp notes).
  • Or, if you have VLC Media Player, you can play the video there and quickly mark timestamps while listening.

πŸ‘‰ Would you like me to create a template sheet (like a table) where you can just fill in the times and track notes as you go through the video? That way, you’ll end up with a polished tracklist.
