#: src/manager.c:194                                                            
msgid ""                                                                        
"There are both audio tracks and data files on the inserted disc. Would you "   
"like to play the audio tracks to listen to music or browse the files to "      
"manage the stored data."

This string is a bit confusing. The last sentence has too many words without punctuation, and it ends 
with a period even though it's a question. To make it easier to read, I'd advise the following:

"There are both audio tracks and data files on the inserted disc. Would you "
"like to play the audio tracks (listen to music), or browse the files (manage "
"the stored data)?"

I agree the current strings are kinda wordy/confusing. adding Anna's team to the
Cc, maybe her team can either agree that your string change is good or suggest
another alternative.

How about:

"This compact disc contains both audio and data. What would you like to do?"

and have the buttons be [Cancel] [Browse Disc] [Play CD] or something?
