Hi,

 

The best way to achieve what you want to do is to first convert your iTunes library to MP3 format.

 

To do this you will need to open iTunes then click Edit /thenPreferences and open General then click the Import Settings button then set the Import Using option to MP3 Encoder.

 

Once you have done that you will need to go to your iTunes Library then hit CTRL+A to select all the tracks in your Library and then right click over hte tracks and choose Convert selection to MP3 then let it run.

 

At this point your library will convert every track that is not protected to an MP3 file and create an MP3 duplicate of the file.

 

When this is running do not touch anything as when it is finished you will need to hit the delete key on your keyboard and it will then remove the original file from your iTunes library leaving the MP3 copy in its place ( dont worry Itines can handle either and so can your ipod) if you click anything then you will have to manually go through your library and remove the AAC original files one at a time after it has finished

 

Once the files are converted and the duplicates removed close iTunes then open Winows Media and search for music files and pint it to the My music folder and it will find all of your newly created MP3 files and add them as tracks to media player.

 

Once it has done that you just create a playlist like normal and sync your Zune through Media player.

 

This way you can also have all your music and future music in iTunes and sync to your Zune at will.
