- Added a shuffle command to randomize the order of a playlist

Screenshots:
Since WMP 10 doesn't allow for easy creation, editing, or saving of playlists,
I wrote my own ASX playlist editor. It's still lacking in some features, but it
does work as far as I've tested it.
Features:
- Browse to files located anywhere using the gsgetfile.dll (included in
zip file)
- Save playlists anywhere
- Import entire directories recursively
- Edit existing playlists
Install:
Simply unzip the files into any folder you like. No Desktop installer or .cab
files.
How to use:
To Add Individual Songs:
- Click the "+" Button in the toolbar
- Click "Browse" to find the song, and Click "OK"
- The program will guess at a good title, if you want it different, change
it in the Title textbox. (ID3 support coming soon)
- Click "Ok"
- The song will now show up in the list box at the bottom.
How to Add an Entire Directory:
- Go to Edit > Import... menu
- Browse to the directory you want by double clicking a directory
- Check the "Recurse Subdirectories" checkbox if you want
to include songs from all folders under this one as well
- Click the "OK" button
NOTE: Import includes ALL files, not just music ones, I'll work
on that.

Other Instructions:
- If you want to manually change the title or the path, double click
on it
in the list and an edit dialog box will appear.
- You can rearrange the order of the songs by selecting a
song and then using the up and down arrows
- The "X" in the toolbar deletes the selected song from the
playlist
- Edit > Clear clears the entire playlist
Known Bugs/Limitations:
Add only supports .WMA and .MP3
- Import does not allow you to filter by extension
No ID3 tag support
Load is not guaranteed to work. It's not very robust code. It should
however load all files that PlaylistEditor creates itself. If you find a
playlist it incorrectly loads, send it to me
- Does not warn you about unsaved playlists
