DoubleTwist Launches iTunes-Like Desktop Application for Amazon MP3 Store

doubleTwist, the company run by famed digital rights management hacker Jon Lech Johansen ("DVD Jon"), today released a revamped doubleTwist for Mac application, adding a number of new features to its iTunes competitor. The most notable enhancement is the inclusion of a music store linked to the Amazon MP3 Store. The application offers an iTunes-like experience for browsing the Amazon MP3 Store, bypassing the traditional browser-based access for a streamlined desktop application environment.


Other features included in the software, which allows users to sync their media libraries to a wide array of devices, include new playlist support and search functionality.

As part of its advertising campaign for the launch, doubleTwist last week released a remake of Apple's legendary "1984" commercial, but utilizing a Steve Jobs-like character in the role of Big Brother.

This is a wonderful piece of software that was done in the clean. The "look and feel" lawsuits of the last two decades will handsomely defend these guys. Surprised something like this hasn't come out sooner.

As someone said years ago, "If you get kicked out of someone's sandbox, make your own sandbox!"
