Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Loading of m3u/other playlists

[Robert Serphillips <rserphillips austin rr com>]

The *.pls playlist works but if I try to import a m3u rb hangs and
pings the processor at 100%. I loaded a few mp3's into xmms and save
it as 2 playlists. The contents are the same but one is a m3u and the
second is a .pls
