Gnomad2 v2.9.6 + libmtp for MP3 players
Gnomad2 is a gui for managing music files on the Creative Nomad/MuVo/Jukebox/Zen range of MP3 players, plus the Dell Digital Jukebox. These devices use Creative's custom communication protocol called "PDE" (Portable Digital Entertainment). This protocol is accessible via the libnjb library included in the Gnomad2 package.
Additionally, "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol)-based devices are also supported, with the included libmtp library. Examples of such devices are by iRiver, SanDisk, Cowon, Nokia, SonyEricsson/Sony Walkman.
MTP is part of the "Windows Media" framework and thus closely related to Windows Media Player.
UPDATE 2014
This application remains useful for the old Creative devices, but modern MTP devices, especially Android smartphones, are now better supported by the go-mtpfs utility, in combination with various GUIs. Refer here -
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=91442
Let me be clear: both of these custom communication protocols, PDE and MTP, are not accessible to Linux without dedicated applications such as Gnomad2.
On the other hand, if you have a "conventional" digital audio player which is seen as a standard USB mass storage device, you require no special application at all. Just connect the device to Puppy via USB, mount the device as a normal external drive, and transfer your music files using the ROX file browser.
The iPod is a whole different story. For that you need gtkpod -

The iRiver range of MP3 players includes some models which are UMS mode (standard USB mass storage), some which are MTP, and recent models which are dual-mode.
Some of the early models can undergo a firmware upgrade which will change their mode -

but apparently the Clix 2GB ang 4GB models are fixed in MTP mode.
UPDATE Jan 01 2014
I have just repackaged gnomad2 with the latest v1.1.6 libmtp libraries, available here -
http://minipc.org/ipup/download/gnomad2 ... -1.1.6.pet
This should add support for recent MTP-compatible mobile phones such as Nokia's, and even Android-based Samsung phones.
This dotpet package was compiled under Puppy Lucid 5.2, and should work with more recent Puppies as well.
For the 2.x/3.x/4.x series Puppies, this package probably won't work, so the older Gnomad2-2.9.4 version remains available -
http://minipc.org/ipup/download/gnomad2-2.9.4.pet
This was compiled back in 2007, so don't expect it to work with modern devices.

I have only gotten gnomad to work in 109CE and never could get it to work in my current 216 frugal install.
When I want to use it, I always have to reboot into 109.
When I saw this I gave it a try and got this message:
The windows open and the light goes on my Creative Zen Micro for a few seconds, but freezes up from there.

UPDATE:
For Gnomad2 to work in the Puppy 2.x series (and avoid a lockup) it appears that libusb must be upgraded to version 0.1.12, now attached.
Gnomad2-2.9.4 should work OK in Puppy 3.x/4.x without any additional libraries.
Gnomad2-2.9.6 should work fine in Puppy Lucid 5.x

UPDATE:
Puppy 2.x might (?) also require these updated USB/nomad hotplug utilities.
The USB hotplug files are from Vector Linux, originally from http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/
The nomad hotplug configuration files are from the libnjb source code http://libnjb.sourceforge.net/

Success!!!
I tried each .pet and restarted gnomad each time. No luck after all 3 .pets.
I decided to reboot to see what happened and lo and behold, I have a list of songs from my player in gnomad2!!!!!
Thanks tempestuous!!!!
Maybe I should have rebooted after each .pet, but I hate rebooting:)

I'm using Puppy 3.01 and only had to install Gnomad2 to get things working. I even have that "Play for Sure" junk loaded into the firmware of my Creative Zen Micro.
Restarted X server, couldn't find any menu entry, so I selected /usr/share/applications/gnomad2.desktop and low and behold, there it was.
Then I found the menu entry....(sigh).
Hope this helps.

Note: gnomad2-2.9.2.pet works for my Zen
Just wanted to add a note that gnomad2-2.9.2.pet works for my Creative Zen 1.01.03 out of the box [thanks ]
If you have a Zen it should work for you too [Dingo 400]
PS... when I bought this zen I was thinking forward [2002]... & I knew I wanted to go linux so I wanted an Open mp3 Player & Creative was it [PC Mag]
This is only my thoghts.... other player s may have been Hacked... but I think Creative may have wanted to be Open for the start.
Thanks again to "gnomad2-2.9.2.pet" for the work, Mike

Nomad still going strong
I used the pets in 4.1.3 and in 5.2.5tempestuous wrote:UPDATE:

Now looking at Jemimah's Saluki do you think that the 2.9.6 pet will work in Saluki?
Thanks
