In Win XP, within Windows Explorer you can map a network drive by selecting Tools > Map Network drive. I don't know OSX. If you have your main SlimFolder on a WinXP machine, say in D:\Music, putting a shortcut in this to E:\OtherMusic will mean it will be scanned by SS. This is just done by right-clicking E:\OtherMusic, choosing 'Create Shortcut here' and moving this shortcut to the D:\Music folder. I don't think it's actually necessary to map a network drive, but I'm not sure. Sorry but I'm no help with OSX. My last Mac had a 10Gig HD that was bigger than my wife's whole computer! Actually no, that was Meg...
