Bug Description

Playlists generated under Windows (e.g., using Winamp) use the backslash character as path separator, and are thus not loaded by DAP.

Patched and tested with a Windows-style of encoding pathnames.

I've tested from command-line args and by dropping into the playlist, both work without issue for me.

Should note with the patch that all it will do is convert backwards slashes to the forwards slashes used in unix filesystems. If the path refers to something akin to 'c:\music\...' it still wont work due to unix's different access points for mounted hardware and it's use of / for a root. Relative paths, eg: 'music\...', will work fine as long as the playlist is in the relative location of the path.

Thanks for making a patch Mark Finger! I'm a noob and don't understand how to apply it but hopefully it works and can be applied to the next release of decibel :-)
