	Ah, the periodic re-rip of your audio...  Such times...

	Anyways, it is too late to help you, but I was curious if you'd looked at some of the FUSE stuff in this area.  I remember one FUSE fs that would 
auto-transcode MP3s for you on the fly...  Mount it with your existing audio as the source and then pull MP3s as necessary.  Handy for devices on the network that 
only used MP3s, singleton grabs of audio for special purposes, etc.
