This error will happen only when Emms is byte-compiled. In emms.el,
functions like `emms-shuffle' call the macro
`with-current-emms-playlist' before it is defined.

Indeed section 13.3 of the Elisp manual says:

"In order for compilation of macro calls to work, the macros must
already be defined in Lisp when the calls to them are compiled."

I won't send a patch in quite yet because I don't wish to make a salad
out of Jorgen's core Emms file, and there are other ways to solve this.
