hmm... looks like a possible solution. Thanks!
This is the first time I've heard of it (just reading about it at Wikipedia).
It'd be nice to have one huge place where I could just keep all the files and never have to worry about them.

One concern is disc fragmentation with audio files. I'm constantly running into problems with older master recordings being ruined because they got fragmented.
I find that after heavy use in Cubase, the CPU and Drive indicators start getting overloaded. It finally gets to the point where I have to drag an entire folder for a song (like 5GB) onto a different drive, reformat the original and then copy it back.
You can't degragment or optimize because it destroys audio files in the process.

Another concern is if it will actually work with an audio application like Cubase. I know if I manually move files around, Cubase can't find them later and takes hours of scanning the hard drives looking for each track individually. (really stupid because it literally searches every file on every hard drive for each track and takes like 20 minutes per track while locking up the computer in the meantime)
