LEE123  OMG, Is anybody else using this? It rocks! I wish I had an excuse for getting the new mobile model. I think people see this as the same as playing tunes on a stereo with an ipod BUT it is not. You can play anything off your computer > 356 mbs You can actually broadcast cd quality music. This is way different than the 128 mbs recording on your ipod.

LEE123  From looking at the iTV Web site I can't tell What itv does or is. SlimServer on the other hand is a piece of hardware and the software that goes with it. You can then stream your Music (no tv) to your audio equipment. This includes all itunes music and play lists or any other music on your computer. You can stream any Internet radio station you want without having a computer on. This includes your personal pandora radio stations as well as last.fm and others. It also has awsome plugins that display on the screen of the device. For instance, you can stream the weather from a rapid fire weather station down the street from you and get real time temp, wind, preasure and such from your neighbors weather station. You can also display stock market tickers and sports scores. Also you can write your own plugin and have it do what ever you want. I highly recommend the device. You can probably pick up an older one on ebay for cheap (slim1, slim2) and they still work great. They also have two new devices that look great for home and now portable audio. Cool stuff.

D|DUMOND  Wouldn't iTV enable this function and more for the same price?

SEņOR EPIPHYTE  Been using this since first gen SLIMP3 player on a Green iMac G3. The server, plus some plugins, and the Java Softsqueeze combine to make a very useful whole house sync or independent music distribution system.

Current version 6.5 is very good on my G5 1.8. Infrequently loses sync with wireless remote head units or Macs when heavy action on the server Mac. Very reliable distribution of asynchronous music to head units.

Can't beat the price. [ Anxiously awaiting impact of recent acquisition of SLIMs parent company.]

JW  This is a great idea, an open-source controller for their hardware box. There are tons of features, lots of room for customization, and the menus are well-organized. The ability to play internet radio in my living room makes it worthwhile in itself.

However, the software is too buggy. I get frequent pauses in the music, and occasionally the box loses the connection with the server entirely. Sometimes the server also shuts down for no apparent reason, and without logging anything. If they can work out the bugs, this will be a really nice server. Until then, it's kind of frustrating.

ANONYMOUS  This is actually a decent thing. It works pretty well - not great - a little touchy, and counter intuitive at times - feels a bit like a Windoze app that's been ported over to the light side of the force - but it does what it should, and it's handy and simple enough to be useful. Not to finicky to set up, but does require some knowledge of your system and general computer-ness to be of any help. It's not going to work out the stuff for you.

GERWIN  Anybody know how to how to uninstall slim server again?  
(Version 6.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  I installed this for current user, started the server, and clicked on the web interface button. But the connection is refused, so is it working or not? Also doesn't seem to be an uninstaller?  
(Version 6.0)

ANONYMOUS  Question:

When I read the description and the requirements correctly, then I should be able to listen to my iTunes music anywhere in my wireless internet home connection radius after I downloaded and installed this SlimServer.

Or do I need any additional software/hardware?  
(Version 6.0a2)

KEVIN  This release doesn't read my iTunes playlists.

Since installing this version, my playlists no longer read properly. It's an odd error, because I can still listen to individual songs.

Oops!

Hopefully the next nightly will have this error fixed.

From previous versions, this is an amazing piece of software. The only way to go in easily streaming music from your Mac. And it's FREE!

Cheers!
