Regarding importing playlists...

It's not working for me as described. First, the Playlists folder isn't under the location on the Settings->Software->General screen. That is configured to point to another box (a raid drive on a server). But when I create playlists using Zune, they go to the normal Users\{userid}\Music\Zune\Playlists folder (this is on Vista) - that's where I see the .zpl files get created.

So I dropped a .m3u file into that folder, and it's not getting picked up, imported / converted, or anything else that I can tell.

Any pointers on getting this to work? This would make my life a lot easier, getting existing playlists out of Media Monkey and into the Zune software.

Thanks,

Donnie
