My top wishes/suggestions:

1. Persistent statistics that survives rescan
This is really critical, statistics such as play counts, ratings,
last played time, added time is the core information to be used in
smart playlists. In my
opinion this is the most important information in slimserver besides
the actual music files themself. 
Slimserver needs a way for this kind of information to survive a
rescan and being able to easily backup/restore.
Sure TrackStat tries to solve this as good as it can, but it would
be a lot simplier and better if this kind of information survived
rescans with the standard slimserver.

2. Support for setting/viewing rating in standard slimserver
Today there a number of different plugins that tries to support
ratings, sometimes in different ways. 
This can result in a real mess and collisions when people want to
use several of these plugins. 
I wish the standard slimserver would support a way for the user to
set/view ratings in a standard way.

3. Plugin manager
In my opinion plugins are the thing that really make slimserver
shine. 
My wish is just that there would be easier for people to find and
install a plugin and also to be notified that there are new versions
available.
This could be solved by some sort of plugin manager included in
slimserver which shows all available plugins and makes it possible to
download and install a new
plugin by simply clicking on a plugin item.

4. Plugin customizable web interface
Today plugins have to put their information into separate pages in
the web interface which makes them a little harder to access. I wish
there
was a way for plugins to integrate their information and
functionallity in the standard slimserver browse pages or at least in
the track details page.
