Hold on...

If you can play the music with Totem then permissions may not be the
problem. More likely the problem is that you haven't set the correct
directory in SlimServer. For example, is it really set as
"media/simpledrive/music"? If so, try changing it to
"/media/simpledrive/music" (note the extra /)

To sort out the permissions issue, try this command: "ls -l
/media/simpledrive" and see what the permissions actually are on
"/media/simpledrive/music"
