virtual tree

The virtual tree tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about creating symbolic link structures to organize files, particularly for digital audio collections. Users explore methods to merge separate folder trees into a single unified view without duplicating data, often for media library management in applications like Winamp and Squeezebox. Topics include scripting approaches for Windows, handling disjunctive and overlapping album collections, and maintaining lossless and lossy formats. The tag focuses on practical file organization techniques using symbolic links to build a virtual tree that presents a combined directory structure from multiple physical locations.
