debtap VS picard

Debtap does this exact thing. Unfortunately stuff like dependencies can't always be directly translated. In this case, debtap will try to pull in some odd libc dependencies that cause jank in my experience.

If there is no official Arch package but official .deb packages are available, you can always use debtap which automatically converts a .deb into a .pkg

Deb packages: https://github.com/helixarch/debtap

My employer wants me to install an antivirus that doesn't seem to be available in pacman or AUR. It's available as a .deb and a .rpm. It looks like it's possible to install either of them; for .deb I've found debtap and and for .rpm there's this article that I haven't read closely.

Have you tried debtap? It converts .deb files into arch packages. I've used it a handful a times to convert packages (haven't tried the ones you mentioned, though).

That's neat. Arch users can use Debtap to convert deb packages into Arch packages.

Did you actually find a deb for anything that is not also available through the AUR? If so, there is debtap. It's really not that hard to write a PKGBUILD, though.

It can be used effectively as a "private spotify". Labeling is a solved problem thanks to https://picard.musicbrainz.org/, and the fact that a lot of the music you buy these days comes pre-labeled already.

You then have a web-app (and/or a mobile app, if that's your thing) where you can stream music as you would with Spotify.

You can even build yourself a little music-sharing commune with friends, where you all upload the albums you buy and accumulate a nice collection of diverse tunes.

I use picard for my collection. My work flow is Picard > Lyrics Finder > Foobar for BPM, RealGain and DR > Custom python script to pull genre and mood from Last.FM and spotify> then Advanced Renamer to perform naming clean up of folder names. I lowercase and underscore spaces. Also does files if I happen to need Mp3Tag when Picard doesn't find anything. Once this is done I move files on to may NAS.

Musicbrainz Picard - A great application that I've used in the past to identify and organize my saved music collection. It's not focused on adding semantic tags though: it's used for adding metadata to .mp3 files.

I do the same but run it though Picard[0] before adding to Plex.

feed all of your music to something like 'musicbrainz picard' - it will sort out all the tags and provide the artwork too

Aside from properly ripping and tagging your own physical collection I'd generally refer you to r/piracy but I think they've gone a bit strange since the blackout. I'm fairly sure anything more specific in that direction would not be appropriate for this subreddit.

Downloading MusicBrainz will be a lifesaver for you.
