okay, so check this out! went back to that test folder, and it added the two files to the library successfully.
went through the library, and tried to play them -- crashed. didn't try to add the test folder to the library before, just went directly to the files...
went back into the library, and instead of hitting the select button on my remote, did the menu thingy (holding down the menu button); selected play using; and clicked on paplayer(default) -- and it's playing!!!
tried to queue the next song (song #3)... and it crashed.
went back in to try and play song #3 the same as before (with song #2) and it crashed. so it seems that song #3 is more of the culprit...
tried to go back and play song #2 w/ debug on, and it crashed... :-(
turned debugging back off, and it played like before.
this time, queued song #3 after song #2, and it played! wow!!!! so effing confused right now.
went back in and tried again, and it crashed... it seems to be to temperamental to come to any conclusion.
