How to transfer music to my MP3 player. Is it as hard as with iTunes for iPod?

Is it just as hard to transfer music on all MP3 players as the Ipod?

I have found it to be the biggest inconvenience for me to transfer all my music from my laptop to my computer because I am using Itunes. I have an older Ipod and was planning on getting a new one soon and was wondering if other MP3 players, such as the Zune were just as difficult as the Ipod. I like the Itunes store, but do not use any Ipod accessories.

One can use iTunes, Windows Media Player and other software to copy music to his MP3 player (depending on a player).

Usually I copy files to my MP3 player (Creative MuVo) by copy-pasting them:

1. Select the files and/or folders in the Windows Explorer
2. Hit the Copy button
3. Navigate to the removable drive (which is actually your MP3 player connected via USB)
4. Click the Paste button

or by sending them to a removable drive:

1. Select the files and/or folders in the Windows Explorer
2. Right click and select Send To. Select the removable drive (which is actually your MP3 player connected via USB)
