SLIM DEVICES
Before You Begin
If you already have a wireless or ethernet network and a computer to use as a server, setting up Transporter
and SlimServer takes just a few minutes—all you need to get your music playing through Transporter is in
this owner’s guide.
. First, collect your digitized music into one place on your computer. You can put all the files in a single
directory, or create a series of subdirectories. The software you use to ‘rip’ your CDs, such as iTunes,
may already do this and organize your music files by album or by artist.
2. Next, download the latest version of the SlimServer software to the same computer as your music
collection.
Note: Transporter needs SlimServer version 6.5 or greater to access the music you have on
your local computer. If you already have SlimServer installed, you must update to version
6.5.0 or later to use with your Transporter You can find the latest version of SlimServer at:
