BeatBox had a file-not-found-dialog in the past and it was was removed with no replacement (I could be wrong here).

A dialog explaining the user that the media was not found would be helpful. I propose the following solution:

If a media file is not found, show an alert (dialog) to the user and skip automatically to the next song in the library. The dialog should be present until the user decides what to do about it. If another missing file is found while the dialog is visible, it'd be added to the list as well. The actions buttons would be:

1) Remove media from BeatBox
2) Try to mount the drive containing the media files (This probably needs to be reworded to something like "Try to find media" for non-technical users)
3) Cancel? Do nothing?

I'm assigning this to Daniel for now, since we need design directions here.
