SBS runs as the user 'squeezeboxserver' as opposed to whatever your
username is.

Easy way to deal with it is to grant 'other' permission to read your
files.  This will allow other users on your system (assuming you have
any) to read (but NOT write) your music.  So in some vague sense it is
opening up security, but, if someone can run arbitrary programs on your
machine you have bigger problems than whether they can listen to your
music...

In a terminal window:
chmod -R o+rX <pathtoyourmusic>

Ie, if your music is stored at /media/music, then:
chmod -R o+rX /media/music
