Which was what?
I'd assume that if you'll be yanking the hard drive and hauling into
the house to put new music on the server, then you'll be adding a lot
more than a single album at a time. Browse Music Folder would work,

Sorry if this is another dumb question.

You would do this in 6.2.x and 6.3 by having SlimServer already running
and then using the CLI to send it a command to rescan. The CLI
interface is just a telnet interface to the server. You could either
use Windows Scriptiong Host to script the Windows telnet.exe client, or
I think --stdio will then let you do CLI from the the console although I
have never tried it.

Hey Jim thanks for the response. The OS I'm running can not install

Something like this should do the trick, just fix the server URL.
http://localhost:9000/setup.html?page=serverrescantype=1rescanrescan=Rescan
Try this first in IE, you may get a CAUTH warning, in which case use
the URL it provides on that page.

Another question...
When slimserver starts it brings up IE to http://localhost:9000/
Is ther a place to change this to the rescan url without too much
trouble?
Thanks

You should run the server as a service so that it automatically starts
