Songbird should skip broken aliases & symlinks (or at least tell you about them)
I just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why this window kept popping up on my Mac informing me that the server I was trying to connect to didn't exist or wasn't operational. I eventually traced the problem back to Songbird - there was an alias buried in my iTunes Music folder that pointed to a shared folder that didn't exist any more, and Songbird kept trying to import that contents of it. I'm honestly not sure how it got there, but I've never had this problem with iTunes, and Finder at least tells you that the reason you can't connect is that the alias is broken, and gives you the option to select a new original. Songbird should either inform you of the broken link like Finder does, or just ignore them like iTunes apparently does.
