You need format detection enabled to work on files that implement an internal playlist.

That will fix it, otherwise audacious gets in a loop when trying to detect the filetype and it hangs until the playlist gets too big and then the program runs out of memory.

[Comment 2 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) 2006-10-26 13:34:51 UTC]

Do not disable detection by format on subsong-capable formats. This option was only implemented for people that feel that 35.000 song playlists should load within seconds and is not recommended for daily use.
If I continue to get bug reports of this nature I might remove or otherwise deactivate it.

[Comment 3 waker 2006-10-27 00:46:56 UTC]

thanks! that fixed it.
maybe you should write some warning near "detect file format on demand" checkbutton?
