Changing location of sub-folders inside home folder

I have a mac-mini with the leopard OS. My 80 GB HDD in the mac mini filled up real quick and I moved all my movies and music to an external HDD that I recently purchased. I am unable to figure how to make the music and the movie folders within my home folder point to the folders with the same name on the external hard drive. I suspect creating an alias for locations on the external drive and putting them into the home sub-folders would probably help. I do not want to do this because then I will have to go one level deep into the folder hierarchy to access my files. Also, I need front row to be able to pick up movies from the external drive.

Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thanks.

<bump> I'd love to solve the same problem, so I'll just keep this thread alive, in hopes someone can help.

umrigar: that is a very useful link, but the NetInfo Manager tool has been dropped form 10.5 Leopard, and a Google search doesn't turn up a solution.
