does the hum get louder if you move the cable between the SB and amp
closer to the power supply? if so it could be poor/damaged/incorrectly

Can you see the files, but they won't play, or do they not just show at

One other thought, are they ripped in WMA Pro - Slimserver can't play
these files?
If you can see the files but they won't play - try unchecking WMA
built in - in Server Settings Filetypes
Intresting now the scan is complete it seems like i have ca 13000 files
(was ca 10500) but 40 or so less artists this time.
