Any way to browse music on other drives? (OS X)

So I have my OS installed on an SSD, and my music library in a separate hard drive. It only lets me browse things inside my user folder, so I can't get to my music library. I can use search to find specfic artists / tracks, but I can't actually browse any of the folders. Am I missing something?

Click on SONG => START and you can access to your drive and soundcloud

That's my problem, it doesn't let me pick any other drives. I can only go as high as my home folder on the boot drive.

No, the drives are HFS+. I'm on OS X. I know it recognizes the drives because I can play songs if I use the search menu, I just can't manually browse the folders. I also have a Windows drive that's NTFS, I can't see that either.

My setup is the same as yours OP, you need to reinstall the game on your HDD. Create a new steam folder on your HDD by going to steam preferences -> downloads -> steam library folders -> add library folder. Choose that folder in the prompt that pops up when you start downloading the game. I have my music and the additional steam folders in the root of the hdd filesystem, audiosurf works fine.

I tried that, it didn't work. :( It still only shows the home folder in the OS drive.
I also tried adding a shortcut to my music folder in there but the game doesn't show it.

What if you make a symlink? (If it's possible under OSX that is, I'm not familiar with it.)
