OK, agreed, I guess that's one way to look at it :)  But it leaves that
track in the playlist, and there are times when several of the first
five tracks that the Smartmix plugin picks are unplayable.  I haven't
got to the bottom of my unreliable playback from Smartmix, except that I
know it's only a problem when I include Spotify in the list of music
sources (I should add that playing from your Spotify plugin directly
always works perfectly).  In Smartmix I believe that new tracks are
fetched when there are three tracks left in the playlist - is it
possible that this goes wrong if several tracks are skipped because
they're unplayable?  Does the rule for fetching tracks get triggered
only when there are exactly three remaining tracks or would it still get
triggered if the playlist went straight from four remaining tracks to
two because of an unplayable track?

I realise that it doesn't look like there's a way to avoid fetching
these unplayable tracks, but would it be possible perhaps to check
whether they're playable (before it's their turn to be played) and
either remove them from the playlist, or not add them in the first
place?  Is that even possible?
