So I have all my music organized on WMP 10 (11, the newer version kind of sucks so I stick with the old one). Also, I already have a Zune but it only runs on Zune software and, as far as I know, there aren’t any “hacks” to get it working with other programs.

So the question is, what mp3 players will let me use WMP as the interface to sync mp3s onto them?

Any of the players that are compatible with ‘Plays For Sure’ should work with WMP.

Odd that MS didn’t bother with this for the Zune, but most other non-apple MP3 players usually work with WMP. I know for a fact that Creative players work ( I have a Zen), and I’d guess that Sansa, Cowan, and others do too.
