Best Answer

Ipods are designed to work with iTunes and only itunes. Windows Media Player, being a Microsoft product is not an official client for synching ipods. You will need to install itunes or find some alternative program for updating your iPod.

There is a WMP (Windows Media Player) plugin for synching ipods from WMP... although its not free. The link is below.

In the past i have had good luck synching ipods with winamp, which is free. Also linked below.
