<p> mp3fs is a very nice idea and a smooth way to use a vast library of lossless archived CDs in the awesome <a href="http://flac.sourceforge.net/">FLAC</a> with <a href="http://www.apple.com/no/ipod/whichipod/">silly mp3players</a> without native support. </p> <p> The concept of mp3fs is a FUSE filesystem which converts FLACs to mp3s on the fly (CBR only as of now) via lame. Thus you can have the original FLACs stored, and expose a folder structure of converted mp3s to whatever you want.
