Using the Web Interface to Play Music

computer, use

http://<IPaddress>:9000/

where <IPaddress> is the IP address or

name of the SlimServer computer. See the Troubleshooting section at the end of

this guide for details.

Tip:

Windows users can use the SlimServer System Tray icon to bring up the web

interface automatically on their SlimServer computer. Mac users can use the

SlimServer pane in System Preferences to bring up the web interface.

including album, artist, genre, album cover art (if available), new music, by year, and

more.

icon to the right of it to hear it immediately. To add an item to be played at the end of

the playlist, click on the add icon.

you want next is different from the last button you pressed, you can proceed as quickly as

you want. If you have to press the same button consecutively, wait for the cursor to advance

before pressing the button again, or press the
