Remarks
Loads a playlist from a file through a secondary thread.
Differently from the PlayListLoad method, this call will perform playlist loading and analysis inside a secondary thread, avoiding any block of the user interface when dealing with very long playlists: in this case the container application is informed about the loading advancement through the PlayListLoadStart, PlayListLoadPerc and PlayListLoadDone events.
For further details about playlists management see the How to create and manage a playlist tutorial.
