Ah, I wondered if there would be any awkward phrases like that since we switched to the name Music.

Some suggestions:
- We can't find your music.
- No music was found.
- Your library is empty.

Thoughts?

Yea this is definitely no good. Maybe we can take this opportunity to be more explicit about how the welcome screen works and say something like "Add music with one of the methods listed below".

@Daniel

Don't you think 'Move Music Folder' seems a bit weird? I prefer the current 'Locate', as the music folder isn't yet set when running the app for the first time. Example:

Locate your Music
Load music from a folder, network or external disk.

I added 'folder' so users will not be confused that it only applies to external drives and networks. Also you forgot the period ;)

What do you think?

The string "Move Music Folder" seems to indicate that the folder where the music is stored will be moved to the "Music" folder in the home folder. Some people choose to have their music files on another external hard drive, like myself so I can have the same music library with iTunes and Noise.
