I was hopnig for a translation layer that emulated the playlist file structure over smb/nfs
The only solutions similar to this have been tools which do all the necessary work on the PC's end. In other words, it's not the player's job to do the translation work in these cases. Mostly, their purpose is to synch your PC's music collection to your car player's music collection. An example of one such utility is "mp3tofid", which is used in combination with FTP and/or rsync. Do a BBS search to find threads discussing it.
Regarding Samba on the player: It's been discussed before, but no one's come up with an implementation that isn't a resource hog.
And finally, remember that the playlists have a lot of useful features that you wouldn't get if you did what you were suggesting. For instance, I don't think "Ignore as child" is a feature of a Samba filesystem.
