Is it possible to stream from SlimServer to my computer using MP3 player software like WinAmp or iTunes?

Yes. Open this URL with your player application: http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3. (Replace “localhost” with the IP address of the computer that’s acting as a server.) This will start the streaming from SlimServer. Initially, this will just be silence. Now use the web interface to control SlimServer. You’ll see a new “player” corresponding to the IP address of the computer that’s being streamed to. Now use the SlimServer web interface to browse and click on “Play” to choose some music to play back. You’ll hear that music after a couple of seconds delay, due to buffering in the MP3 player software. If you are using SlimServer’s password security, you’ll need to use a slightly modified URL like this: http://username:password@localhost:9000/stream.mp3.
