DoubleTwist - Putting media to your Nokia Mobile made easy (MAC)

Some days agora I came across with a software called doubletwist. It had the odd promise of making media transfer easy to nokia mobiles. It is something I have been trying for ages using all sort of suit and tools. None worked as smoothly as doubletwist.

It has been a very big handycap for me, since I sold my iTouch ( for beliefs agains Apple attitudes ), to have with me my media and being able to use it around my day-by-day. Doubletwist is so cool, that it imported even my play lists from itunes, and now I can also buy DRM free , cheap music from amazon, as well as importing everything (DRM free) from my itunes. It handles also the codec conversion, that was so painful before.

So, if you want to get rid from the evil of Apple controlling your mind and making you mad about the "brand new feature" that every single sensible player had since 2001 or by predating nice features just because it "may harm their business", this is a very nice option. The only problem is that it run just on Mac OS. Can be a nice try if you are like me, trying to phase out Apple from your life, but you can't just throw in the bin the £1000+ laptop you bought 2 years ago.
