Just an update. All developement on the desktop app has been at a dead stop for a long time. It still has many of its major past problems and limitations, though I haven't seen the crashes and locks that others report. I won't reiterate its limitations and misleads, as others herein have already done so.

Development has moved over to DT for Android, and now has pushed on to DTA Pro for a price. And yet there's little to no upgrade option for those of us who already paid for the Airsync or other add ons now included in DT Pro. So if we want a few of the new features in that, we end up paying for AirSync, etc. all over again.

This dev team is quickly becoming as notorious as others using GetSatisfaction forums for support, where users are tossed into a sea of others to often fend for themselves. I would suggest anything buying anything the uses the GS web system to think twice, even if the app has good ratings outside of its own site (and DT does not).

Now I'll see if MacUpdate actually takes my post since the last 4 recent ones are no longer showing up.

I was looking for an app to sync iTunes to my Android phone (EVO 4G) and I thought DoubleTwist was it. It has a nice interface that looks like iTunes however, it does not show any Smart Playlists that you have created and thus cannot sync them to your phone. THis is a HUGE drawback. It will let you create new playlists but who wants to recreate all their smart playlists? Instead, go to the Android App Market and get iSyncr for Mac. It allows you to easily sync any and all of your playlist including the smart playlists. For $1 more you can get iSyncr WiFI and sync everything wirelessly- it works like a dream -much better than DoubleTwist. DoubleTwist isn't going to live up to other apps available until it fixes some major issues including the playlists, syncing photos, converting videos (takes forever to sync one video). Try it out and you'll see what I mean. I've deleted it off my Mac and my EVO and am sticking with iSyncr for Mac.

Freezes up constantly giving the beachball of death for long periods of time. While I enjoy many of the features if it is at the cost of having the beachball of death, I would rather just have a simple program to sync my itunes instead of having it be bloated like itunes.

Great app for people without ipod.

Can manage music, photos, videos of any mobile phone, psp, camera,...

And now with Amazon music store

The social feature is nice.

AND FREE!

After downloading and running it, the program deactivated Bluetooth on my mac. Very strange. Launched it and boom, my bluetooth was gone.

This app refused to recognise any device I attached (Android G2, HTC Windows Mobile).

It also consumed large amounts of CPU and memory, and spawned a syslogd task that gradually took over my system with memory consumption until I force-quit it with Activity Monitor. Very strange.
