Notmad from Red Chair gives you drag and drop for your Nomad, and much
more:

The very first day I had my player I spent a couple of very
frustrating hours trying to use the atrocious software that ships with
it, then went online and googled around until I found Notmad (which
gets my nomination for best product name ever). I bought it and love
it.
