Everyone knows that sharing media between devices can be a nightmare: sure, images, generally go across fine, but if you want to share your music playlists with a friend, there’s usually a good amount of time-wasting figuring out how to get the files across. And if an iPod and Apple’s FairPlay DRM are involved, things get even more complicated.
Enter doubleTwist, a new desktop application from Jon Lech Johansen, better known as DVD Jonn. Available now for Windows (with Mac OS X support promised in the second quarter), doubleTwist purports to let people share media between friends and family as well as sync media with popular devices like the Sony PSP, Nokia N Series phones, Windows Mobile devices, and more. Even if that media is in iTunes and protected by Apple’s FairPlay DRM.
