Thanks for your report. Your first step cannot be solved for the next release because that would need adding a new error message for invalid paths. Elisa is not supporting smb:// paths right now. This is a feature request. Your second step might work if the music backend of Elisa is supporting smb:// paths itself and the file path is handled correctly. I will see if this can be fixed for next release.
