itunes export

When you shutdown Songbird, it "publishes" the changes that occurred while it's running. That's the flash you see. It also launches a process called songbirditunesagent. This process looks for a file called songbird_export.task. This file should be in your C:\Users\[Your user name here]\AppData\Roaming\Songbird2 directory. When iTunes starts it communicates with iTunes and updates it using this file.

So here's some things to check.
1. When you shutdown Songbird. If you go to Task Manager, and under the "Processes" tab do you see the songbirditunesagent.exe listed?
2. If you see the process listed, then statup iTunes. The process should end and be removed from the "Processes" tab in Task Manager.
3. Now, if something bad happened on either of those two steps you may have a itunesexporterrors.txt file in the C:\Users\[Your user name here]\AppData\Roaming\Songbird2 directory. If that file exists, please post it's contents. That might give us some clues as to what is failing.
