At home, on my PowerBook, I happily plug my Creative Nomad Zen Xtra in and iTunes picks it up as a device that I can work with; playing music from it and putting new music onto it. However, at work, where I am chained to a Windows machine, the same functionality isn’t available.
Does anyone know of a plugin for iTunes on Windows which will allow me this functionality?
If not, I’m stuck with WinAmp Pro which is frankly, still a cooler multimedia player than iTunes (except for Smart Playlists, which are by far the best feature of iTunes).

you should download the creative zen drivers on the creative website for your windows problem.
I have the same but it’s on mac OSX, itunes recognises my zen but i can’t play music from it nor copy it on my computer??
how do you do?
Tom, I had the same issue on my Mac as you initially. Then, I hard reset my Zen and reloaded all the music from the iTunes library via the Mac. All works fine now. You might also like to have a look at XNJB (http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/).
thank you! It works, now I just need to find a way how to convert wma in mp3??
No problem! iTunes will do it for you provided you set it up properly. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/hottips/ for tips.
I have the problem with windows itunes and crative zen xtra, but i solved with the help of winamp.
