My situation was multiple folders of music spread over two disks. Not so
easy for Slimserver to scan when you input one Music Folder.

My solution is to use NTFS Junction Points
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point), creating a single
directory with symbolic links to all my music folders on the drives.

I created c:\sml and then sub-dirs 00, 01, 02 etc. to keep path names
short. The utility Junction Link Magic
(http://www.rekenwonder.com/linkmagic.htm) then created the links
between each sub-dir and the target source.

I set slimserver's Music Folder to c:\sml, it traversed the junction
points fine and located all the music across the disks.

Junction points can't cope with UNC mappings, but it seems that NTFS
symbolic links in Vista can.
