Using playlists is very clunky right now.  Just the fact that you have
to go select "rescan playlists" as you make changes makes it a pain.
Look at the timestamps, if the file changed, re-read it.  Of course
you cannot do that today if the playlist scan takes 2-10 minutes.  But
if the server is smart about only running those extra steps when a
library change is detected that could effect the result, and doesn't
re-scan playlist files whose timestamp is unchanged, and only re-scans
lazily as you browse into a playlist, it should be completely
seamless.
