Comment (by stippi):

 Hm, how about this suggestion: You could fill the list in a background (or
 the BApplication) thread. Check each file as before (by trying to load it
 as BMediaFile). That gives visual feedback to the user and makes sure that
 all files that can be loaded really are. Perhaps skip the BMediaFile
 construction for audio/* and video/* types to speed things up?
