you know that you can always use the context menu and trigger a "play from here" to still queue anyting in a specific folder? Or simply pop up the context menu on an artist or album and choose "play" to move everything inside to a playlist? I know these are only workarounds, but the PIs hardware is limited. I'm not saying that your mentioned issue couldn't somehow be improved code wise to be faster, but at some point there is a limit to it on what the CPU of the PI can handle, so don't expect a pink unicorn if somebody is trying to improve this area.

In Frodo, opening the all songs view took 40+ seconds, brought down to 4-5 in Gotham. The list of songs is all in memory at that point. I am not expecting 0 seconds here for generating the playlist , but i am sure a little work in this area will go a long way...
