Hey guys,
Just wanted to share this gem with you all:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx
The "junction.exe" command can make symbolic links on windows NTFS drives.
What does this mean?
You create a folder C:\MUSIC which is empty - and using junction, you put the music on your data drive E:\MUSICDATA - whenever you browse c:\music, you "see" the data on e:\MUSICDATA:
You would use: Junction C:\MUSIC E:\MUSICDATA
From now on, browsing C:\MUSIC will show you all folders and files under E:\MUSICDATA
In virtual DJ you use C:\MUSIC and subdirectories exclusively - when the time comes to move your music to another drive, or even another drive letter, you just change the junction from C:\MUSIC to your new location.
This way you can move your music around pretty easily without ever breaking the path names.
Regards,
Tonio

Actually that's kind of "old" news...
I guess the program just automates the mounting functions of NTFS ;)

Yes, it's been in NTFS for ages - but I wanted to share it here, it can be handy for VDJ users.
