Anyone seen the dialog that shows up when a song cannot be found?
It looks something like this:
Code:
The Song "Whatever" could not be found because the
original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
Cancel Yes
What's up with that? Cancel or Yes? Hmmmm.

Ought to be Cancel - Locate …
I'm pretty sure this happened after all those non-human interface guideline programmers were called in to write the Windows iTunes version

I supposed it could be Yes/No, but Cancel is the universal computer no, so I don't see the problem.

Read up on verbed dialogs. Geez.

Aside from the redundant found in the dialog, the proper response to "Would you like to locate it?" is yes or no. If not explain it to me.

Here is the equivalent Zune dialog:
Would you like to locate it? Abort, Retry, Fail

The dialogue should be "Don't Locate" "Locate" - that way you don't need to read the full dialogue each time to know what to do. The question shouldn't even be asked in the dialogue.
Yes No Apply Cancel style choices are what make Windows dialogues so painful - you have to read the whole thing to try and work out what to do and the text can often be ambiguous or downright confusing.
