Note to self: Check out the Tivo Windows Media Library Support plugin. According to the page: “With this plug-in, you can navigate your music in the same way that Windows Media Player does: by Album, Artist, Genre, static and auto Playlists. You no longer have to export playlists into m3u format in order for TiVo to read them. Just make sure Windows Media Player indexes all your music and playlists. In addition, this plug-in allows the TiVo software to recognize Windows playlist files (.wpl extension) on the file system, should you wish to continue to navigate by folders.“

This will be very cool if it works out. It should enable me to hook the whole house audio system that I’m putting together that runs on Windows Media Player to share playlists with the Tivo for the living room TV. Of course, the ‘media room’ will be running on Windows XP Media Center, so sharing of the playlists will be easier.
