How To Install mp3fs on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install mp3fs on CentOS 8.
What is mp3fs
MP3FS is A read-only FUSE file-system which trans-codes audio formats (currently FLAC) to MP3 on the fly when opened and read. This was written to enable me to use my FLAC collection with software and/or hardware which only understands MP3. e.g. “GMediaServer” to a Netgear MP101 mp3 player. It is also a novel alternative to traditional mp3 encoder applications. Just use your favorite file browser to select the files you want encoded and copy them somewhere!
