I figured as much, not really important, but I somehow just started noticing it.

I can reproduce it every single time, here are the steps that I've taken to get
to it.  I don't run slimserver as a service, but as the slim.exe file, so it's
easy to restart by killing the window and relaunching while keeping the
interface window open.  I also play everything in song shuffle mode and repeat 
all.

Steps:
 - Restart server

 - Click Add To Playlist from any iTunes playlist (I don't have any others, but
size doesn't seem to be an issue as I've tried from ~100 to >3000)

 - The playlist queues up with the first random song in stopped mode, but the
playlist (ie, everything below the Download and Clear links in Fishbone) stays
blank white, odd.

 - Hit play on the interface and the error is thrown, the first song is skipped,
the second song begins, and the playlist screen fills in

Great, thanks!

As a result of working up these steps for reproducibility, I've noticed that
sometimes the album art that comes up for a song is just plain wrong.  It
doesn't happen often and it often refreshes to the correct art, so it hard to
notice when I'm not paying attention, but the incorrect art displayed doesn't
seem to have a consistent pattern or relation to the music playing at all.
