If so, I think it could be done in a more subtle way: Grey out the entry in the playlist and just skip over it to the next entry int he playlist (like Amarok does) and show the message in a tooltip on mouseover on a pointer device or on tap on a touch device.

I've added a screenshot which should help. This is a little different from the way amarok deals with the same error. If the media is inaccessible, the message is shown in the player screen. 
Is it okay, If I go ahead in the way I am or should look to implement something similar to what amarok does ??
