Comment:

 What do we feel is the correct behavior here? I mean certainly we should
 not crash if a file is missing in the playlist, but then should we keep
 trying for each file in the playlist, or just dump the whole playlist? I
 feel like this latter behavior is better because what if the playlist is
 big and full of all files which are not present, and MediaPlayer spends 30
 seconds finding out they are all bad?
