tbh though, I don't really know why you wouldn't use itunes?

Its really easy, and is properly supported software for the device, so...
I know that iTunes on windows is nowhere near as good as on mac, and that it slows down your machine quite a bit, but it is free. You can use winamp (i think to drag and drop stuff, well I did when I had my mk2 nano).
