That one doesnt point to tagging: Browse Music Folder ignores tags
(which is why you can navigate there when the tags don't get parsed).

For some reason Slimserver can't play them... how are these files
stored?  Is there a permissions issue?  (I make no pretense of
understanding how Windows does permissions, it always seems they
superglued a multiuser permission system with access rights over a
single user OS that lets you do whatever you want...  but sometims
things like "services" can't read regular files if they get ownership
changed...)

A permissions issue on Windows would lead to a situation where you
could see the filenames, but not actually open the files.  (And, again,
remember that on most Windows installs Slimserver runs as a service, not
as a regular user, so being able to play them with WMP will tell you
whether the file is corrupt or not, but not the permissions.)

I'll leave the "how to tell if Windows thinks you don't have
permissions to a file" to someone who understands Windows, or maybe you
get it and this note will let you check.
