PlayListLoad method 

 

Loads a playlist from the specified file. A call to this method won't return control to the container application until the playlist has been loaded completely so, if the playlist should be very long, it could block your user interface for a while; for this reason there is the possibility to call the PlayListLoadSync method which will perform playlist analysis and loading in a separate thread. 

 

For further details about playlists management see the How to create and manage a playlist tutorial.
