Subject: RE: [slim] Newby Alert: Can't load music libraryMight sound like a stupid thing to suggest but bear with me...Browse to your music folder on your hard-drive (e.g. c:\audio). When you can see "c:\audio" in the address bar, copy this and paste it directly into the setting for "music folder".I know it's got to be pretty much impossible to get it wrong while typing it, but just give it a try. Click the "change" button to make the setting active, and then do a rescan.If this fails, then maybe thereis some reason why the slimserver can't see the files - this could be because:(a) the user who runs slimserver service may not have permission to view the contents of the c:\audio location; or(b) slimserver has been configured to look for only certain file-types, and none of those file types are listed. (e.g. "server settings>file types" from the SB web control panel.Both options are a bit unlikely, but both are worth checking just to rule them out.Dan.

yes, that should go away. Are you able to look at task manager and see
what slimserver is doing? Better yet, run the exe from the command line.
