Another hint: Even if Lutris claims to be for games, there are often install scripts for windows applications too. So it may be worth to try to run your apps with Lutris. It should be in the mint packages (try sudo apt install lutris). Then you can add your software in Lutris with the upper left “+” button. Just use the search in the dialog box. I managed to run FL Studio like this, exactly as performant as on windows. Good luck and welcome to the linux family!

It’s a jungle out there 🎶

That’s a cool approach! Reminds me of the old Napster 🤓

Awesome! I just learned something today. Thanks for pointing it out so detailed!

yt-dlp can handle YouTube Music Links. Just tell it with -x --audio-format mp3, that you don’t want the Video, but an mp3 (opus can’t be tagged). I use it to obtail whole artists, then I tag them with MusicBrainz Picard. I’m sure there is a way to automate this. yt-dlp has also a Python library. However I haven’t used it for now.
