Also.. pretty much all modern operating systems automatically handle appropriate file caching into memory, so in most cases where you are reusing the same files over and over again, they will end up in memory without any tricks.

Are you having problem playing files? Why worry with this?

My question is when it plays the file does it read file every time from the disk? or there is some way to "Load at the startup" and play directly from memory.
Yes, it does. You can put your file in a ram disk.
I also saw the "mod_http_cache" but not sure if I should use it (I am unable to understand in what scenario it will be logical to use it)
It caches a remote file (http) in your local filesystem.
