Uninstall/reinstall did the trick. In the interim between starting this thread and anyone else taking it up, I had asked Slim tech support for their help. They opined that there was something wrong with the pref or database file, and suggested deleting the contents of various folders - including the one you mention, totoro - but SlimServer then refused to restart at all, so in the end they came down behind a full wipe and replace. They also gave me the idiots' guide I needed to doing it (which was jolly decent of them, as ever). The result is that the contents of iTunes and SlimServer now more or less match, and SS is also running (and scanning) much more quickly, as is the web interface. While uninstalling, I ran a Spotlight search for Slim files, and discovered a .dmg file for the nightly build of 14 December. I knew I'd installed one nightly build, but wasn't sure exactly when. Since this fits the chronology more closely than I'd recalled, I have a feeling that this may have been the culprit. Which I hope isn't too ominous! Perhaps it was the attempt to instal this without uninstalling 6.5 that did the damage. Anyway, many thanks for your help to totoro and all others kind enough to assist. I'll have another look at the artwork issue now, too, (although I don't think I have enough of an idea of how to report a bug actually to do that yet!) Thanks again.
