Zune alternatives

Are there any Zune ( http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp7/zune-software ) alternatives available for ubuntu ( or any linux distro ) that seem reliable for a windows phone?

I managed to talk in my girlfriend to switch from windows to ubuntu and she seems to enjoy this distro a lot but the only thing she misses is this Zune software for her windows phone.

I tried to install Virtualbox w/ windows 7 + guest additions and extension pack as well, but her phone couldn't get recognized by Zune inside virtualbox ( windows 7 ).

The only idea I have left is to install ubuntu alongside windows ( dual - boot ) but I believe that any alternative would be a better solution to this problem ( since dual-boot would require constant restart between the two OS and it is kinda annoying ).

Your best bet is probably something like Banshee, Amarok, Clementine or you can use Ubuntu's default media player Rythmbox. If you decide to go with Banshee (which is the one I use), make sure that the MTP extension is enabled go to Edit --> Preferences --> Extensions --> Device support --> MTP Media player support.
