Question about loading software for iPod nano

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes. My son
recieved an ipod nano. He had an mp3 player before and when we loaded the
software it cleared all the music my husband had on Musicmatch. We havent
installed the software for the nano yet because we are afraid of losing the
music again. Is there a way to avoid this? Shouldnt we be able to have more
than one music source on our computer?? Sorry if this sounds really dumb. I
do not know very much about computers

I discovered the Christmas that iPods only work with iTunes and will not
play wma files. Xplay2 and Anapod SEEM to be solutions to investigate.
