Simple Sync/Playlist manangement software?

I recently built a new machine, with Windows 7. Needless to say, I'm floundering as to what to use to sync my ZVM. Here's what I've tried so far, and the results:

Creative Media Explorer: Vista 64 version partially works, can browse, but clicking Sync = "There is no player connected"

Windows Media Player 11: Bloated, won't pay attention to my Zen file structure, tries to copy duplicates to Zen.

Media Monkey: Bloated, unintuitive, too many features, can't figure it out.

PureSync: Simple two folder view, Great for syncing folders, works with MTP. Won't work with playlist.

As I said, PureSync works great for a nice, simple Sync - but the copied playlists come empty.
How can I export/transfer/backup my playlists?
Why do the *.zpl playlists keep coming up empty when I try to copy them from My Zen\Storage Media\My Playlists to my C drive?
Is there any other SIMPLE syncing software that I've overlooked?

Thanks in advance!
