CSV playlist import should accept 'incomplete' track entries #467

CSV playlist import should accept 'incomplete' track entries rather than silently ignoring them. If a track entry does not contain artist, title, album & label values then the line will be skipped without any user notification, making it very difficult to locate any missed tracks.

Suggested Change:
Import lines should be added to the playlist if they contain, at least one non-empty field. This would accommodate the use case of a DJ purposefully entering a placeholder entry that will be completed later, e.g. something to be played by the Kinks, which I will decide later. It would also make it much easier to identify unintentional partial entries because it is much easier to spot them if they are included in the playlist than if they are silently omitted.

It already does. See the attached two samples, one with tabs and one exported from OpenOffice. All lines are imported, even the ones with just artist.

I am wondering if this is a bug, though... the UI and API require both artist AND track. CSV ought to apply the same validation. Though, I can see your point about using it a placeholder for subsequent edit.
