Sorry, Donn, I don't understand what is it that you intend to tell me. :-(

As I mentioned before, none of the playlists have problem except the one in 
question. I have a playlist which has 1300+ flacs and mp3 which loads up in 
less than a minute !

Obviously, I'm trying to understand why is it that, it is happening only with 
this playlist. I'm in need of some pointers which, can tell me where or what 
to llok at. I need to know what is wrong here.

Thanks for your help anyways.
