Placement of M3U (playlist) files

So having had my Node now for maybe just under 2 weeks, I have all known issues resolved except 1. The problem is this. I have found that I need to place my M3U files in the directory contains all of my mp3 files. Like so:

I export this share:   /u2/Media/mp3

In the mp3 directory one can something like the following:

macmini: /Users/u2/Media/mp3 > ls -l

total 16477

drwxr-xr-x   3 balson  staff     4096 Mar 26 06:13 0000nop

drwxr-xr-x   8 balson  staff     4096 Mar 25 09:57 10000Maniacs

drwxr-xr-x   5 balson  staff     4096 Mar 26 17:02 AfricanGroove

and the M3U files look as follows (I'll only choose a line for one of the band above):

#EXTINF:-1,01  Cant Ignore The Train

10000Maniacs/[1985] TheWishingChair/01 CantIgnoreTheTrain.mp3

So when I place the M3U files in the mp3 directory, all works fine. 

But. I don't want to do that. I don't want to mix the M3U files under the mp3 directory. It's messy enough with over 635 directory for various artists. To have to add M3U files on top of that is not what I want to do.

What I'd like, and what my old Sonos allowed me to do was have a directory structure as follows:

Playlists/*.m3u

mp3/

This allowed me to separate out the M3U files into a separate directory to keep things cleaner.

Is there any way I can do this with the Node?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks, Jim
