Now THIS looks neat:

Anything like this for Linux? A virtual Filesystem so you can directly
read Audio tracks instead of needing to rip them with a separate ripper
before processing them (playing, mp3ing, etc...)

I've seen a few things like this for Windows. Virtual filesystems adding
extra functionality. Another good one is ZipMagic, which can turn zip
files into Folders, without requiring temp disk space. Transparent to
all applications. 

Can Linux do things like this easily? I know it has its /proc custom
file-system, but is it possible (and has it been done) for 3rd-party
extensions. (Maybe as Kernel modules?)

On a side-note, is there a filesystem which is a cross between UMSDOS
and VFAT yet? Any plans? It'd be handy to access long filenames that
Windoze could also read, yet still do file permissions and such if you
wanted...
