The FAQ covers this issue if the drive where the music folder is a network drive. You may need to use the actual drive name, not the drive letter that it is mapped to. It would be a nice addition to the interface if it browsed for the drive for the music folder.

I installed slim server and it would read my iTunes music library fine. I would then restart my system and slim would stop picking up my changes in iTunes. I then tried wiping the cache and rescanning an slim would come back with 0 artists, 0 albums, 0 songs. I would reinstall and it would read the library again. Turns out slim.exe seems to have a problem running as a service on my machine. Whenever I launch it as a service it can't read the music library. If I stop the service and launch it as a regular program everything updates fine. Is anyone else having this problem? Are you running XP Service Pack 2? For the record my setup: Windows XP SP2 P4 2.53GHz 1 GB Memory Two Disks (C:111GB D: 228GB) SqueezeBox � one squeeze box connected over wired 100Mbps network iTunes Settings: Music Folder D:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Keep iTunes Music folder organized is checked Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library is checked Library has 8539 songs, 312 Artists, and 583 Albums 44.88GB Version 4.7.1.30 Most songs are mp3, though I have about 200 AAC files.
