A userspace filesystem that transparently transcodes FLAC files to mp3.
I've no idea how it performs in practice since my mp3 player just
plays FLAC.
This is MP3FS, which is what my script uses to do some of the work. The
difference is that I create an actual copy of the transcoded files to
avoid the processing overhead of transcoding to MP3 every time the file
is read - it's a tradeoff between speed and disk space and whether
that's better for anyone depends on their system and needs.
Considering the low prices of disk space, I'd say storing a copy makes
perfect sense. It doesn't need to be backupped.

Peter
