I tried Doubletwist in an effort to escape the clutches of iTunes when I got my Nexus One earlier this year. I wasn't a big fan of it; it seemed clunky, had no way to edit mp3 tags, no smart playlists, album art was consistently wrong or missing, and I still couldn't sync wirelessly. I found the best solution for me was to keep on using iTunes even though it was a bloated mess. I bought the Tunesync App from the Android Market which allowed me to wirelessly sync my phone. It worked wonderfully, I cannot stress how awesome it is. I see no reason to switch back to Doubletwist at this time unless it adds what seems to be a plethora of features.

  • MP3 tag support
  • native smart playlists
  • less buggy album art
  • wifi syncing.

Also, I wish they would cut it out with the "itunes for android" marketing. It's condescending considering most people switched to android partially to get away from itunes.
