Description	Since the media files in the playlist might not be in the database, then a background worker should be added for loading songs in the background. It must be cancellable by the user. For an example, check Foobar. The progress bar and button can be placed just under the buttons in the Playlist window. Determine the process for adding files. Maybe they should be imported in the database after all? Anyway, it would look something like this: 1- Fetch all file paths from memory cache (or songs?) 2- Loop through playlist items; check if the song is in the memory cache 3- If not, read the audio file metadata It would be nice if it didn't block the playback of the first songs, but that can be added later.
