Play iTunes from anywhere via SMB
i had same problem as you (I was totally sick of iTunes changing my default library to ~/music/iTunes or whatever if the net volume wasn't connected. here's an applescript i cobbled to use instead of double-clicking itunes itself. it first checks whether my network volume is mounted -- if it is, it opens iTunes. if not, it makes sure it's reconnected, then launches itunes.
i'm intrigued by the chmod route since my applescript doesn't solve the issue of the volume getting unmounted while itunes is already mounted...
if you wantr to use, just customize the volume name and/or procol (cifs vs smb) throughout, as well as in the if statement. in my case, i'm using workgroup as the workgroup, mamecade as the server name, music as the shared folder and mweier as the user i connect with (pw comes from keychain, presumably)
any AS guru's who want to streamline, go for it!
