The easiest way is to download and extract this droplet [Create Symbolic Link]. Drag and

drop the iTunes Music folder into the droplet and it will produce a symbolic link for it with

a .sym extension back to the same location. Take that link, drop it into the /Library/

WebServer/Documents folder and remove the .sym from its name.

An alternative for that is to download SymbolicLinker. It adds a contextual menu that can

easily create symbolic links by right-clicking on any folder. Mount the SymbolicLink DMG

image ﬁle and drag the plugin into ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ then restart Finder by

holding the Option key while right-clicking on the Finder dock icon. Then select ʻRelaunchʼ.

After Finder relaunches, right-click on the iTunes Music folder, scroll down to ʻMoreʼ and

select ʻMake Symbolic Linkʼ. A new symbolic link appears with a “symlink” added to its

name. Drag that link over to /Library/Webserver/Documents/ and remove “symlink” from its

name.

If youʼre a DIY-er, the Terminal method is the hardest and most complicated but Iʼll show

you how to do it anyway. Since youʼre following these instructions instead of the above

two, Iʼll assume that youʼre not a novice. That said, launch Terminal. Navigate to the server

folder by typing:

cd /Library/WebServer/Documents

Then create a symbolic link to your iTunes Music Folder and name that folder Music

ln -s “/Volumes/[Your HD name]/Users/[Your short username]/Music/iTunes/iTunes

Music” Music
