DoubleTwist (www.doubletwist.com)

Double Twist allows you to sync your media across numerous devices and then share that media with others online. The DoubleTwist team highlights their aim as follows:

"Our vision is simple: to create a unifying media platform that connects consumers with all their media and all their devices, regardless of whether they are online or offline. We feel that just like you don't use a different browser for every web site you visit (Firefox to read the NY Times, IE to stream Hulu, Chrome to browse YouTube, etc) you shouldn't have to use iTunes for Apple products, Nokia software for Nokia phones, Sony software for Sony products, etc. The typical household today has many such devices and there is a need for a simple and powerful software that connects them."

DoubleTwist is software for both PC and Mac that allow you to transfer media from your computer to a huge number of devices. It works like a multi-platform version of iTunes, and you can drag and drop your files to share with others as well. For example, the software can sync all music files you bought on iTunes with your Blackberry, Nokia phone, Kindle or Sony PSP without you having to worry about file format compatibility. Media files can then be uploaded to sites like Flickr, Facebook or YouTube from within doubleTwist.
