https://github.com/simon-weber/Autoplaylists-for-Google-Music/issues/117#issuecomment-269149723 describes an unexpected situation:

• create a static playlist by adding a store track that's not in your library
• link it to an autoplaylist
• -> the autoplaylist does not contain that track

This is because non-library tracks are never put into the track cache, so they don't show up when querying for them. Fixing this is troublesome because of https://github.com/simon-weber/gmusicapi/issues/182 and https://github.com/simon-weber/Autoplaylists-for-Google-Music/issues/97#issuecomment-261733918: this may end up getting blocked on Google.

If that ends up being the case, we could at least detect these tracks. It'd probably be relatively straightforward to even support a prompt to add them all to the user's library.

Someone recently ran into this on the mailing list.

It looks like this is affected more people now (maybe playlist linking is becoming more popular?). I'll take another look to see if Google returns full metadata for get_track_info. If not, I'll add a warning when querying a playlist affected by this.
