 Yes, that's nice and clear.

 >  2. the Details button displays a list of paths that were not found

 OK, yes this is one way – we need to make sure this list display is
 reasonably set out on the canvas (line wrapped, some padding around the
 edge of the screen, allow the list area to scroll if there are many
 missing tracks etc).

 One alternative that might be simpler, for each greyed out track add a
 small error (!) icon badge, hovering/clicking on the badge reveals a
 palette with the full missing path.

 in the canvas.  Jukebox is also displaying another message there

 Oh wow, yes that one is rather ugly! ;) Can we clean that one up? Centre
 the message, plenty of padding either side of the text, line wrap if
 necessary, remove the technical jargon/code, perhaps put an error icon
 above the text. A design much like the other message designs as in #3714
