Thanks Ben. I had left a few posts on how to use Slim Server as well as answers to a few questions, but I think it best to have it formally memorialized in the wiki (which I don't know how to do). I think Slim Server is way better than any of the alternatives I have seen so far for listening to music on the 770.

Ben,
The page you wrote up says:
Does this mean Slimserver works only over the web?
Can you use it locally? (Substituting "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" for "server.ip.address")
Thanks,
Roger
The page you wrote up says:
After Slimserver 6.5 is installed and running, point your 770's web browser to http://server.ip.address:9000/Nokia770/ (replacing server.ip.address with the ip address or domain name for your webserver)
Can you use it locally? (Substituting "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" for "server.ip.address")
Thanks,
Roger

The slimserver software runs on a PC (Windows, Linux, Mac) - the address you enter into the 770 is the address of the server. To control the slimserver you use a browser-based GUI interface.
You would have to be running a browser on the server in order for 127.0.0.1 or localhost to work. You do not run the slimserver software *on* the 770.

Trying this now. Anyone notice that the slimserver icon kinda looks like a 770 with it's cover half pulled off? 
... "Slimserver starting"... and nothing. It's said that for 10 mins. I don't have a firewall enabled.

I have the same problem.
I had a look at the Windows services, and the Slim Server service didn't start. I started slim.exe with the --logfile option, and the logfile reports
2006-01-21 12:20:02.5686 Can't call method "process" on an undefined value at /PerlApp/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 1733.
What does this mean?

6.5 codebase has hit some instability. I think you'll find the Jan 18th build stable:

hopefully the fresh daily builds will restabilize shortly.

I just completed a wiki page on using Slimserver in concert with the Nokia 770
http://www.internettablettalk.com/wi...verAndNokia770
this gives a short explanation of why you might be interested in using Slimserver, and then points to the main wiki howto, which is on slimdevices website
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cg...verAndNokia770
happy to hear your comments,
