I have 9 external USB HDs plugged into my Mac and in Sidebar it shows them all seperate and it looks bad cause theres so many. Any program or anyway I can make it show like 1 Folder called "iTunes Server" or something and when u go into it then shows all the external drives? I just want something where it shows only 1 folder or something.

I can do this now by hooking my USB hub to my Airport Extreme and then it shows up under Shared as 1 drive but when you click on it it shows all the HDs hooked up to it.

Thing is I want to hook it up to my Mac not my router.

Thanks!
 
What about a folder (wherever you want to store that) with Aliases to those external HDDs?

Then you put the folder into the sidebar under Places and remove the HDDs from Devices.
 
hmmmm... never thought about that.

Ill give that a try but is there any other suggestions?

EDIT: How do you make a Alias of an external HD?
