Using shortcuts will of course work but is much less transparent. A
shortcut is just an ordinary file that includes information that links
to the target. Windows Explorer and Slimserver has the ability to parse
that information to change directory to the target subfolder. Using NTFS
junction points creates a seamless link similar to what mounting does in
Linux/Unix.

If you have other applications that traverse the music library (e.g.
for differential backups) they will probably have a hard time with
shortcuts but will work effortlessly with junction points.
