Two mounting questions

[Rick Thomas]

The situation really isn't as bleak as all that.  First of all, HFS 
is probably *not* a viable option for a filesystem that has MP3s in 
it.  HFS-plus handles large files (and filesystems with lots of 
little files) much better than HFS.  That's why Apple developed 
it...

(that's the bad news -- now the good news)

Second, it sound like you really just want to *read* the MP3 files, 
not create them.  HFS+utils works OK for  copying files from an 
HFSplus filesystem to a Linux filesystem.  Read the "tuxppc" 
article Bruce referenced, then read the man pages for the HFS+utils 
as mentioned in the last followup to that article. There is hope.

Anybody want to spend some time developing an HFS+ filestem driver 
for Linux PPC?  The world (or at least a small corner of it) will 
thank you profusely!

Enjoy!
