Apart from the hardware limitations (Pi0 has only one USB port), the USB OTG mode won't support this scenario either (see 'here' (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/mass-storage.txt) and 'here' (http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/file_storage.html) for details)
Realistically, the following methods are feasible: - use mp3fs on the server on which your library is located (or on another computer which mounts the library over the network), and synchronize the mp3s to a USB storage device (e.g. using rsync or similar) - use some script to archive the conversion and synchronization. I've written a 'script' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108762-Export-playlist-of-music-files-to-USB-pen-drive&p=907869&viewfull=1#post907869) for a somewhat similar scenario, which I'm currently rewriting to include conversion (e.g. flac->mp3) and volume normalization. While the original purpose was to copy files based on playlists (since I only want parts of my library on my phone / in my car), it could be easily extended to copy all files from a directory instead.
