Player Software

[tina21]

I bought a Sansa Fuze+ and though its glowing reviews I find it really difficult to handle (especially after an iPod nano which is fairly easy to use), anyways I'm looking for a Player software much like iTunes where its easy to sync with the player the video, music, audiobooks, playlists (clean and separately too)

any ideas? (I already used MediaMonkey but it seems a bit too complicated, especially with the audiobooks)

Can't think of anything super simple, ask around on the Foobar forums is what my advice is.
It is one of the best players around and also syncs with your mp3

What I'm looking for mainly is something that will make it easy to sync audiobooks and make playlists... I'll try foobar let's hope (though playing around a bit with Media Monkey made it a bit easier not by much... my playlists were empty)

While Sansa devices can be a bit different to work with, there are alternatives to iTunes and MediaMonkey that might suit your needs better.

It's relatively straightforward to use and offers decent synchronization options for many portable devices, including some Sansa models. It might be worth trying with your Sansa Fuze+.
   
2. [COLOR=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Foobar2000:[/COLOR] Foobar2000 is a highly customizable audio player. While it may appear complex at first, you can simplify its interface and functionality to better suit your needs. It supports various audio formats and can handle audiobooks and playlists effectively.
   
3. [COLOR=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Clementine:[/COLOR] Clementine is a user-friendly music player that resembles the classic iTunes interface.
