#: sources/rb-playlist-source-recorder.c:908                                                                                                                           
msgid "Unknown media, CD drive is busy"

This message doesn't make much sense. The comma in there implies causation,
as in "unknown media because CD drive is busy."

Either these are two separate statements, and they should be separated; or they
are somehow related, and that relation should be made clearer.

To separate, I'd suggest "Unknown media, or CD drive is busy".

To relate them, I'd suggest "Could not determine media type because CD drive is busy."

Joining phrases with a comma for lack of stronger punctuation leeds to confusion ::/

They are related so I changed it to match your last suggestion.  Thanks!

Also updated the original copy in nautilus-cd-burner.
