Thanks! I don't know how this would play out w.r.t. tags, but MP3FS, which is a FUSE filesystem, seems rather appropriate for this sort of circumstance. It does on the fly transcoding. Having mentioned, I figured I'd look it up again to see how much chance it has of being appropriate here. Alas, it appears to be dedicated to FLAC->MP3. Too bad it can't just work with anything that ffmpeg can read, as well as do proper tag conversion. Still, maybe someone is looking for a project. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
