That's absolutely correct. Every node has a UID and a source address.
You target the specific source address for the device you want to
control.

In this case, say you have a Slim named Bedroom and Office. You'd then
address them as:

KCSoft.SliMP3.Server:Bedroom
KCSoft.SliMP3.Server:Office

Or all Slims connected to the SlimServer via wildcards:

KCSoft.SliMP3.Server:*

But have a gander at that xAP spec and there are some good examples of
wildcarding and targetting in there as I recall.

By defaulkt, if you don't specify a Target line, then the
SlimServerConnector will address all Slims that it can see on your
SlimServer.

HTH?
