The web interface allows full browsing by artist, genre, album and by album
artwork(and in the upcoming 6.0: new music, year).  Adding items from teh web
interface of slimserver will play them on your player.

the slimserver GUI is basically a web interface.  The default skin refreshes
every 30 seconds, so unless you initiate control from the GUI (or any browser
on any computer pointed to http://serverIP:9000/) then you would have to wait
for that refresh in order to get an updated status on the player.  The right
side fo teh GUI is your current state, topped by a status pane, and the
playlist below.  On the left you should see a list of browse, search, settings,
and help items to  choose from.  Browse and Search let you add songs to your
player(s)' current playlist.

cheers,
