Sync'ing iRiver Clix with the Mac?

I run both Windows Vista Home Premium and Mac OS/X 10.5.1.
I have an iRiver Clix which I enjoy tremendously. When I am logged into Windows Vista on the Mac, MS Windows Media Player comes up automatically and recognises the iRiver Clix. I can then sync music between the WMP and the iRiver Clix.
I would like to do the same on the Mac OS/X side. So I deleted iTunes. Then I plugged in the iRiver Clix and started Windows Media Player for the Mac. Nothing showed up in WMP. Then I tried Quicktime. Nothing.
What program do I have to use on the Mac side that will recognise the iRiver Clix so that I can sync music between the Mac OS/X and iRiver?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1), BootCamp + Windows Vista Home Premium

Have you checked iRiver's website for specs or forums that might give you this information?

Nothing of any use. But there must be a way to sync between other MP3 players and the Mac. Even a commercial program. I just haven't come across any. I thought someone in the Mac community who is not wedded to iPod/iTunes might know of something.

I got rid of the Clix Gen 1 and got the Clix Gen 2 and it works perfectly across both platforms.

It had to do with the UMS mode, which is only available on the Gen 2 Clix. Thanks for all the responses.
