Hands-on: doubleTwist’s iTunes alternative leaves us wanting

// October 7th, 2009 // Tech News

Amazon has just gotten more competitive with iTunes on the desktop via a new release of doubleTwist for the Mac and Windows , which now offers an Amazon MP3 front-end as well as integrated media software and support for numerous handheld devices. The software, which launched Wednesday, comes courtesy of Jon Lech Johansen (”DVD Jon”), famed for his own personal war on DRM before dropping DRM in music became en vogue . doubleTwist’s goal is clearly to offer a clean and very iTunes-like interface for playing media and buying from Amazon MP3, though our initial experiences left us a little disappointed.
