Comment 4 for bug 673237

Daniel -- I agree.

What if we had a status column that had icons in it to indicate things like:

- track is missing
- track has been analyzed
- other things? failed to parse? track is low quality?

Also, missing tracks don't get remove from the crates/playlists -- they
just aren't shown. If the track is marked not-missing at some point then it
will re-appear where it was. I agree the user might go looking for a track
and be confused that it isn't in the playlist where they left it, so I
think you're right that we should fix that.
