Windows media playlist (wpl) Zune media playlist (zpl)

Convert them using notepad.  The only diff between a wpl and a zpl is the headers.
this is at the top of a wpl

<?wpl version="1.0"?> 
<smil> 
 <head> 
 <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 11.0.5721.5145"/> 
 <meta name="AverageRating" content="53"/> 
 <meta name="TotalDuration" content="10069"/> 
 <meta name="ItemCount" content="40"/> 
 <meta name="ContentPartnerListID"/> 
 <meta name="ContentPartnerNameType"/> 
 <meta name="ContentPartnerName"/> 
 <meta name="Subtitle"/> 
 <author/> 
 <title>Hip Hop Massive</title> 
 </head>


and this is at the top of a zune playlist:

<?zpl version="1.0"?> 
<smil> 
 <head> 
 <meta name="Generator" content="Zune -- 1.0.5341.0"/> 
 <author/> 
 <title>Hip Hop Massive</title> 
 </head> 



paste the zune header into the wpl and it works perfect.

This did not work on the newest version of the Zune software, however, if you like me there is a way.

Open WMP 11, pull up your wpl playlist, now resave it but resave it as a m3u file. Now you can import the m3u playlist into your Zune library.

If your like me, were I created the m3u is within the monitor'ed folders for my Zune, so it auto loaded and saved each time I created a new m3u. Once Zune creates the zpl, you can delete your m3u's. (because if you dont, WMP will see double play list)

The easiest way is changing the extension from .wpl to .zpl double click and the Zune software to the job for you just wait a few seconds and the play list start to play the music. If you don know how to change the extension here is how. Go to Control Panel and select Classic View and double click on Folder Options click the View tab and uncheck Hide extension for know file types. Do the change execute the zpl. If everything is working fine put the check mark back.
