You can add any file to a playlist as long as the path in the playlist file is the one seen by slimserver. If your music library is setup in slimserver as e.g. /mnt/music and you have it mapped as e.g. G:\ on another computer slimserver will not recognize any playlists created on the non-slimserver computer because the path G:\... is not a valid one for slimserver. However, you can manually edit the playlist file and change the G:\ part of the path to /mnt/music. Regarding untagged files: There is a setting in slimserver to guess tags based on file name and directory structure. You might want to check this out. It's under Server settings - Formatting - Guess tags format. Most likely your untagged files are actually already in the database but since slimserver has to guess tags they are not listed where you would expect them to be. Again, the Guess tag option might solve this issue. Whenever you play a file it is automatically inserted into the db if it isn't there already. One minute for a single page in Browse Music Folder is a very long time. Do you keep all your files in a single directory without subfolders? Browsing would be much faster if you organized them in subfolders e.g. artist/album/track You can also limit the number of items per page under Server settings - Interface - Items per page. Currently there isn't any plugin to add tracks from windows explorer but the idea has been discussed recently in another thread.
