If I load a .m3u playlist having a spurious space character at the end, e.g.  
 ![](http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8667/clipboard20k.jpg)

Mp3tag loads all the tracks in the .m3u folder! It would be nice if it just ignored such lines.

I can confirm such behaviour.  
Just a one byte m3u file containing only one space character let Mp3tag load the complete current folder.

Thanks. This can lead to data loss, so worth fixing I think.
