Do we really need the OSD to notify about about a finished collection scan?
The OSD is very distracting and should only be used for actual track
change imho. If we start using it to announce stuff like finishing the
scan we open the door for a lot more distraction that the user really
shouldn't be bothered with.
Now if you suggest this to fix the broke behaviour of identifying a
real trackchange vs. a metadata change on the same track we should
really really try to fix that instead of making it "prettier".
