I installed SlimServer from the slimdevices repository on a debian
sarge system:
deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main

SlimServer reports:
SlimServer Version: 6.5.0 - 9916 - Debian - EN - iso-8859-1
Server IP address: 10.34.1.21
Perl Version: 5.8.4 i386-linux-thread-multi
MySQL Version: 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge7

NOTE:  I did change the settings from the same web-browser, but
selecting the player I was controlling didn't seem to affect the random
playlist filtering (ie: random filters appear to be a gloabal setting of
slimserver, not something that is per-player adjustable).

I'm mainly interested in dynamic playlist creation (ie: random or
preferably 'smart' based on chosen/skipped songs, mood, genre,
last-played-time, etc), but I need multi-user support as I will have
several listeners and I don't want them poluting each other's
statistics (ie: I don't want to listen to (very much of) my wife's
music, and she probably doesn't want to listen to most of mine! :).

I'm concerned that something as basic as genre filtering doesn't seem
to work based on which player I'm using (or even better, which user I
connect as).  I'm looking into some of the plugin addons to see if they
help address this, but would appreciate any pointers from someone more
familiarity with the server software.

Also, is there any way to associate a "listener" to a player session,
or are the settings purely based on which player device is connecting? 
I'm wondering what happens when my wife and I share a player in a common
location (like the living room), and how we prevent steping on each
other's settings (particularly if I get some sort of dynamic playlist
generator like MusicIP setup).
