"To answer the question, the SlimServer will follow links,
so you can create a Windows link or *nix softlink from
one directory to another to save the space and duplication.

As Andy says, I think the actual space saving it going to be
trivial, unless you have lots of "best of" "greatest hits" and
similar collections.

This raises a question from a week or two ago. If the songs are
identical bits, then you can trivially make a link.
But if they are different bits, how do you tell which is
"better"?"

Pat - The link only gives the original album info -> slimserver follows
tags not directories.  Any other ideas?

PS. I know storage is cheap, I just want to understand the principle.
