Playlist trickiness
By now most of us know that the first generation Zune hardware, software, and firmware were little more than a re-skinned and re-named version of their generic PlaysForSure counterparts. This holds true for for the "ZPL" playlist format (as opposed to Windows Media Player's WPL extension). Turns out the Zune playlist format, which has carried over to the new, written-from-scratch software and firmware, is little more than a WPL file with a few names and tags changed around.
