Comment (by humdinger):
Does checking the existence of files - even in a huge playlist - really
take that long?
IMO it'd be best to check all files in a playlist (in a separate thread if
sensible) and start playing the first found. Missing files should be
marked in the playlist by being greyed out (like missing downloads in
Web+) and are ignored in the normal playing business.\\
The "Edit" menu in the playlist window should get another item "Remove
missing files". Then the user can decide, if he'd like to adjust the
playlist, or keep as is, in case the missing files make a comeback (by
mounting some USB stick, for example).
