Want to Replace iTunes?

Sync, Play & Send to BlackBerry, PSP, iPod, iPhone with doubleTwist

First I want to say.  I like iTunes, it syncs content great to my iPhone and Apple TV.  I also love the genius feature, it creates great playlists.  But when it comes to getting content onto my sons PSP, I’m out of luck.  That was until doubleTwist.

DoubleTwist gives you an alternative to iTunes (that can still access you iTunes library).  It’s still pretty basic, but it does offer some great features that iTunes lacks.

  1. Sync – it syncs with a lot more devices (including PSP, Blackberrys, Android, Kindle and more).  See the complete list here.
  2. Amazon mp3 store.  You can directly access the Amazon mp3 and all the free content they offer.
  3. Share with others.  It gives an easy way to share with your friends.

It’s still early in development, and I’m sure they will fill out the missing features in time.  It’s a great start, and I look forward to future releases.  And at FREE, it’s worth a try.  Right now it’s only Mac, but a PC version is coming.

UPDATE: It looks like the PC version is available for download now.

Check it out: doubleTwist.

    Actually, when I went to the lin, it took me right to a Windows version. Just downloaded it and installing on Windows 7 now!

    I’m intrigued by this; I downloaded the windows version, looking forward to trying it out. I love that they copied iTunes – I’ve been really wishing iTunes would have this kind of cross platform functionality. Maybe this will make them up the game? Anyway, love the thought of being able to use this with my phone, my son’s DSi, etc. Much easier than the alternatives!
