Using symbolic links will probably work. Unlike directory junctions,
they support network drives... Following the scenario, recreate the
internal path of the share you are accessing, and mimick it on the
local, default drive...

- Open a command prompt as administrator
- run mklink /d C:\mnt Y:\mnt
  

This will make a virtual folder in the root of C: called -mnt-. Assuming
Foobar2000 runs with C: as its default drive, \mnt will equal C:\mnt and
thus /mnt will work. If you want to get rid of the symbolic link again,
simply delete the directory...

*Don't delete directories that are not marked as [SYMLINKD]*, otherwise
you delete the folders that have actual content in them. So, above you
would delete -mnt-. Nothing else.

It is debatable whether or not this is an easy method. If I were to do
it often enough, I'd prefer it over search/replacing the playlist,
except, of course, it would be equally manageable to just make a script
to -precompile- the playlists.
