Question : Problem: Music library tool to manage iPod AND Creative Zen

We have music on an iPod and in Windows Media Player.  We have reinstalled the PC that the iPod was originally synchronised with so cannot get the music back onto the PC.  In addition, we want to purchase a device that has an FM tuner and are quite keen on a Creative Zen Vision:M.  We are looking for one decent music library tool that will allow us to manage music files and transfer music to both iPod and Zen player - does one exist?

Answer : Problem: Music library tool to manage iPod AND Creative Zen

Unfortunatley when it comes to iTunes tracks you'll have allow iTunes to manager your ipod unless you convert them to mp3.
You open iTunes and import your files back.

Creative Zen Vision, is an all in one mp3 player and is also different from the iTunes ipod since it does not require DRM

Your choices to include the iTunes is to upload your ipod tracks convert them to mp3 then you can use them in your Zen and with a different mp3 manager if you wish to call it that.
