Just thought I would post this as I was suprised that it actually worked and there does seem to be some level of interest on the web. I was looking to see if I could sync my Lumia 800 with mediamonkey on a Windows 7 machine without installing Zune.
After plugging the phone in via USB, I went into Device Manager (right-click My computer, Propoerties, Device Manager) and found the new devices with the yellow hazard symbol representing the lumia. Right-click the device and choose 'Update driver' then 'browse my computer' then 'let me pick from a list' then 'portable devices'. On the next screen choose '(Standard MTP device)' and 'MTP device' and install the driver.
Then run mediamonkey and you should see the Nokia device. I synced my files to '\Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Artist> - <Title>' and synced my playlist into the '\Playlists' folder as 'Extended m3U' with 'Force relative paths' checked and 'Use unicode' unchecked
I then looked at the Lumia and it recognised my playlist with all the files. I was surprised it worked but am not complaining.
I guess it should work for any windows phone but perhaps someone else could post if it does.
