Playlist.Tracks.Count
This method is pretty inefficient, especially if the playlist is a complex autoplaylist. Could we please have a "Playlist.TracksCount" method which just returned the count? This should be much more efficient as it doesn't need to return all the track data and build the SongList object.

Re: Playlist.Tracks.Count
We don't have any internal mechanism of getting track count of a playlist before its content is fully read from DB. I.e. in order to provide what you ask for, we'd have to implement it only because of this feature - which I wouldn't like to do, unless there's a very good reason why is such a performance improvement needed.

It would just make my "Custom Reports" script a bit quicker, that's all!

Trix,
For static playlists you could use SQL to retrieve the trackcount quicker. It won't work for autoplaylists though which probably is the biggest culprit here.
Jiri,
If http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=6412 would be implemented, we could do the same for autoplaylists! Plus more cool things.

However, I have one additional request, pretty please. It would be nice (if it is possible) to have SetAutoplaylistQuery as well.

Re: Playlist.Tracks.Count
Yeah, it's definitely autoplaylists which pose the problem, more so than static playlists.
