Something might be wrong with your system...  1300 songs is not a large
playlist; I have one at least 2-3 times that big on my Athlon XP 1600+.
Just curious, do you have the "List as Shuffled" option on or off?  Mine is
'on'.

I think I might be seeing this too... mythfrontend just hangs sometimes
going into the playback screen.  I can usually kill it by resetting the X
server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) or SSHing in and killing the process.
Everything worked fine until I recently changed the location of my music
library and rebuilt the entire music DB.  If I get a chance I'll try to get
a backtrace and submit it.
