Thanks for your suggestion, amcluesent. I had a look at the J. River website, and it appears that their media center is a real jack of all trades. To be honest, it looks like a lot more than what I'm after, as it handles much more than audio (photos, video, etc). I'm usually a bit leery of multipurpose software, as its often difficult to 'get it all right', as there are more features to focus on, and often one area of the application will shine at the expense of another. Media Center does appear to have good iPod support though, so perhaps I'd be able to stop using iTunes, which would be a huge bonus. Also, if/when my nano dies, I'm not sure I'll buy another one, as there are lots of mp3 players around, and they're getting better and cheaper all the time, so having iTunes around just to support a specific player looks like short-term thing.
The flac support is important, and it appears to be able to convert between formats (flac/wav/mp3). I've just started using dbpoweramp which allows me to do this from an explorer window, which I find pretty handy. Thanks again for the advice, amcluesent. I'm not going to make any snap decisions, and unfortunately, I don't have the time to test drive all the potential solutions, but I'll certainly keep Media Center in contention.
