I am using minidlna / ReadyMedia-Server to stream my music files in my network.
Unfortunately one of my players is unable to read FLAC files, so I am looking into a solution on how to transcode all FLAC files to mp3-format

I found a pretty simple solution, that should also work with other streaming services and is not bounded to minidlna / ReadyMedia
Check out mp3fs https://github.com/khenriks/mp3fs
Quote: mp3fs is a read-only FUSE filesystem which transcodes between audio formats (currently FLAC and Ogg Vorbis to MP3) on the fly when opened and read.
This can let you use a FLAC or Ogg Vorbis collection with software and/or hardware which only understands the MP3 format, or transcode files through simple drag-and-drop in a file browser.
I installed it via sudo apt-get install mp3fs
Mounted my Music-HDD folder that contains my FLAC and WAV files to the mp3fs filesystem:
sudo mp3fs -b 320 /home/alex/Music-HDD /home/alex/mp3-Music-HDD/ -o allow_other,ro
modified my /etc/minidlna.conf to point to the correct path:
media_dir=A,/home/alex/mp3-Music-HDD
and restarted the service:
sudo systemctl restart minidlna.service
Now my player is able to play the FLAC files.
