A tool which lets you listen to your lossless music collection on your car radio.
The radio in my car is ancient and can only play MP3s. All music in my collection is lossless (FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ...). musync converts music to MP3s and copies to my flash drive. Running musync again will only convert/copy new music. Renamed files are not converted again.
My music collection is categorized into folder by artist and albums. Resulting in a deep nested directory structure. The radio allows me to shuffle music from a folder, but it doesn't look into sub-folders. musync flattens the directory structure upto a single level. This means that I lose some of the categorization but I can play one folder on shuffle and skip my way to the songs I want to listen to.
