#2 Ability to read .m3u files

[linux_chuck]

I really enjoy using pymediaserver with my mp101. It works wonderfully. I would like to request an additional feature. It would be quite useful if pymediaserver could read in and load mp3s using a pre-generated m3u list. Currently, I have a work-around shell script that reads in a given m3u file, generates a directory, and populates it with symbolic links to each mp3 from the list in the m3u. I then kill pymediaserver and run it against the new directory of symbolic links when I would like to listen to a new list of songs. My music collection is just a "hair" over 300,000 titles, so having pymediaserver load my entire collection is a 5-10 minute event. If pymediaserver were able to read in .m3u files directly, I could "skip the middle man" and simply supply it the m3u file on the command-line. Hopefully this feature request is worth your time. I have several other ideas in mind if you are interested.

Again, thanks for the excellent software. Even if there are no feature additions in it's future, I'll continue to use it.
