"Music startup doubleTwist today launched a new application, available for Mac and PC, that wants to replace the proprietary world of Apple’s iTunes with one where you can download music and sync it to any player.

Here’s how doubleTwist explains what they do:

Our vision is simple: to create a unifying media platform that connects consumers with all their media and all their devices, regardless of whether they are online or offline.Just like you don’t use a different browser for every web site you visit (Firefox to read the NY Times, IE to stream Hulu, Chrome to browse YouTube, etc) you shouldn’t have to use iTunes for Apple products, Nokia software for Nokia phones, Sony software for Sony products, etc. The typical household today has many such devices and there is a need for a simple and powerful software that connects them."

doubleTwist Unveils An Alte... from feedproxy.google.com
Last week doubleTwist, the media management software company with DVD Jon as its CTO, released a remake of Apple's classic 1984 commercial featuring none other than Steve Jobs as a malevolent dictator. The commercial closed with a promise. "On October 6th, doubleTwist brings you Choice". Today, doubleTwist has revealed what it means by that: doubleTwist now includes an integrated Music Store, powered by Amazon's MP3 Store. But unlike iTunes, this app will let you transfer your files to non-Apple devices. The store includes Amazon's catalog of over 5 million songs, allowing users to purchase songs either as albums or individual tracks (there's also plenty of free songs available). From a design standpoint, it's clear that iTunes served as a big inspiration — if you've ever used the iTunes Store before, it will take you all of thirty seconds to figure out how to use this one.
