Everything with %s is good, but %d is exactly what's not easy to
transfer (and not very informative also). I'd vote for "Transfer
selected episodes to %s", "Play all selected episodes" and so on.
"Play %d selected episodes" implies that no matter how many are
selected, you'll play %d of them, which looks a little disorienting,
doesn't it?
