That's very interesting. I will give it a shot later in the week when I have time.
There are two other options available. 1) mp3fs: Works similarly to the way your method does i.e. creates a virtual filesystem based on MacFUSE. But instead of WAVs, the files are converted to mp3s at a bit rate that you decide. It is useful if you want to sync parts of your flac collection with a portable audio player. The mac patch for mp3fs can be found here http://www.uwe-arzt.de/patchmp3fs . The original mp3fs page is http://mp3fs.sourceforge.net/ , and of course MacFUSE is a google project http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ . As a side note, MacFUSE also serves as the base for NTFS-3G which lets you finally Read & Write windows partitions on a mac http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html 2) Firefly media server: This is a DAAP server http://www.fireflymediaserver.org/ which can be built to transcode from FLAC to WAV in realtime while presenting metadata in the iTunes interface. Build instructions for transcoding on a mac are in this thread http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/viewtopic.php?t=7353&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= . Your entire FLAC collection will show up as a shared drive. I've used this for a few months now - works great, but you can't burn with iTunes (which is not a big deal). -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47878 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
