Maybe this should change depending on what you are doing at the time?  I
think that if you import while your playlist is not empty, your playlist
iis untouched, and playing is not interrupted.  If you import while your
playlist is empty (or if there is nothing currently playing?) then the
playlist is populated with the latest songs imported and the first one
starts playing (maybe?).

Just a thought.
