I'll probably be rewriting the script in the near future anyway, as the Zune software is a piece of trash that doesn't properly import m3u files. The next version will either export *.zpl (Zune playlist, based on smil) files directly, or will put everything in the playlist directly into the cache directory, so that I don't have to deal with playlists at all.

One thing you could potentially do with this code is use the $HOME environment variable to make things more generic for users. ($HOME on my install points to /home/jake, for example.) While you could likely do something similar to the batchfile, you might be better off writing a .vbs that can access the <a href="http://www.wisesoft.co.uk/scripts/vbscript_display_special_folder_locations.aspx" rel="nofollow">MyDocuments special folder</a>.
