Default Need Help/Suggestions: Zune and WMP

All of my music files are stored in mp3 and wma format on my PC and I use Rhapsody to buy music and WMP11 to manage files and playlists. I also have an iRiver Clix that syncs well with WMP. I'm about to get my wife an 8GB player and she likes the Zune.

We pretty much ruled out anything from Apple since I don't want to have to deal with iTunes and an entirely different process for buying/managing music for her player vs. mine. I also don't want to have to go thru the pain of having to convert my files to something that an iPod can play. So, bottom line, an iPod is out.

Ok, here's where I need your help:

1. Do I *need* to install the Zune software?? Can't I just continue to use WMP11 to manage all my files and playlists and just sync the Zune with WMP11? I really don't want to have to install a separate software program to manage a new player.

2. Does the Zune work well with WMP11? I'm assuming so since they're both MS products, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Are there Zune/WMP11 issues I should be aware of.

3. She only needs 8GB and our budget is about $150. This is probably not the most objective place to ask this question, but is the Zune the best choice or are there other players that might be better, mainly in terms of sound quality and WMP compatibility, for the money.

Thanks!!
