extremely slow on loading long playlist

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. long(huge)playlist
2. load the aforementioned playlist

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
load should be at least finished within acceptable time. But actually it took 2 
or more minutes to load the complete list. thus every time i start using this 
software, i have to at least wait 2 minutes for my playlists load up.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9c(0.9.2)

Please provide any additional information below.
I think it will be useful if all needed information are saved in playlist, so 
while loading it. it just literally load the playlist itself. It can proceed 
the scanning process upon starting playing the actual entry.

This version is not meant to be a librarian, that's why it handles only the 
standard M3U playlist format that doesn't embed all the needed metadata.

Anyway, the playlist load is done in a background process, so you can start 
playback before it is completely loaded.

Thanks for quick reply, I didn't notice i could actually play while i am 
loading, tried to double click on the playlist entry but never try the actual 
play button. BTW, I love the way current playlist handles, looks compact with 
only these essential info embedded! Keep up good work!
