 Replying to [comment:9 garycmartin]:
 > What happens if there are multiple tracks missing (I'm assuming a kid
 might keep a music/video collection on a USB memory stick and have many)?
 I assume it is also possible that this message will be generated if the
 user erases tracks from their Journal and then tries to resume a Jukebox
 playlist referencing it? Multiple missing tracks could be from multiple
 devices and/or the Journal.

 The test is done when the media is played. Will be one message by media.

 in his original ticket description. For the case when more than one track
 is missing perhaps something like:

 Ok.

 track names to provide more information:

 not found.

 I prefer go for the non complicate route :)

 Personally, I am not sure "Track ''words2.ogg'' from ''HUMITOS'' not
 found." is a good message. What is HUMITOS? And the logic to know this is
 a path pointing to a non munted device can be tricky (now are in
 /run/media/olpc/ but in older versions were in /media). We already are
 showing the path in the mounted device palette. Is not nice, but is
 information needed.


 > I guess it might have been easier to just disable/grey out missing
 tracks in the playlist ;)

 Disable and don't show a message? And the user should guess what happened?
