Summary0011068: Speed up playlist USB syncing for general MTP devices
DescriptionPlaylist syncing for MTP connected devices is mostly slow. And because MediaMonkey re-creates all playlists on every auto-sync then playlist syncing can be super slow for some users/devices and takes up most of the syncing time.

The solution would be to re-upload only those playlists/auto-playlists that were modified from the last sync.

The problem is that user can delete a track directly in device and such a track gets deleted from a device playlist too.

Therefore MM should reupload a playlist once one of these conditions is true:
1) 'Last Modified' timestamp of the playlist is newer than timestamp of the last auto-sync
2) Number of tracks of the device playlist differs from the number of tracks within library playlist

Finally I used slightly different approach, at first I found whether the playlist with the same path already exists on the device, then whether amount of its tracks is same and then I compare actual tracks paths in order. This method is fast enough and safe.

Test note: This must be tested with MTP playlists like 'PLA', this check is not performed for simple M3U, because M3U re-creation is fast enough. There is a room for further optimization in case of need.

Speed increase on MTP devices that utilize PLA are aproximately 35% which should be faster on newer devices.

Re-opened, it seems that we should done this also for M3U playlists. Based on some tests M3U transferring can be slow for some Android devices connected over MTP: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=73862#p375205

Fixed in build 1662.

i.e. if the same M3U with the same content already exists on the device, then the file is not re-copied needlessly.
