Dirk,
Ultimately, you are going to want to edit your /etc/fstab file to
contain entries for each off the three USB drives you have attached
(that is a lot of drives!)
These text entries will look something like:
/dev/sda1 /Music/diskA vfat
defaults,utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /Music/diskB vfat
defaults,utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1
/dev/sdc1 /Music/diskC vfat
defaults,utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1
where defaults should include read/write permissions. You could follow
defaults with ro as in defaults,ro,
to restrict permissions to
read-only. With these lines in fstab, the drives will be mounted when
the system boots. Your uid and gid values might have to be different.
For this to work however, you will have to have created these
directories as root under /, or wherever you want to place them,
example:
sudo mkdir /Music
sudo chmod ugo+r /Music
sudo mkdir /Music/diskA /Music/diskB /Music/diskC
sudo chmod ugo+r /Music/diskA /Music/diskB /Music/diskC
I strongly recommend reading Peter W.s wiki page on mounting USB
drives under Linux:

Now, you just have to specify /Music in Slimservers Music folder
field.
Since I might have made a mistake above your mileage will probably
vary, but I hope it is helpful. I keep all of my music on a single 750
Gbyte drive.
I am assuming you made an HDD install of SlimCD, rather than a frugal
install? Otherwise, you will have to do some work to save these
changes, to make them permanent.
