I am working on solutions to address missing feedback and providing hints 
about the configuration options that may help fixing missing music or other 
problems.

I really would like to understand why your music was not seen by Elisa. Is it 
possible for you to try again and maybe ping me on IRC to get your logs ?

If Baloo is able to found your music, it should be discovered by Elisa and if 
it is not the case, I have a bug to fix.
