Anyone who is frustrated, fed up, or just looking for an alternative to iTunes may want to consider checking out the latest release of doubleTwist.  The latest version is (at this time) Mac only, however a PC version is promised to be in the works.  Additionally, an international version is also noted as being in the works.

Moving on, for those unfamiliar with doubleTwist, it is simply an iTunes alternative— but an iTunes alternative that offers support for a wide variety of devices.  Basically, instead of having to use an Apple product, you will be able to use the device you choose, in fact there is a wide variety of support for devices including the Palm Pre, T-Mobile G1, Sony PSP, Nintendo DSi, Amazon Kindle, Archos 605, the BlackBerry lineup and many many more.  And yes, you can even sync your Apple iPod.

This latest version of doubleTwist has added integration with the Amazon MP3 store.  Which is good news for those of us who have moved on from purchasing from the iTunes Store, not to mention those who now use multiple devices or have multiple devices in your family.

In terms of features, there are some that will be missing from iTunes, it is pretty clear that you are not going to see an App Store, nor will you have the option to purchase videos, but remember you are using the Amazon MP3 store, not to mention you can still import any current video from other locations on your hard drive.

Heck, the doubleTwist application can even see, access and play your iTunes library, including the ability to import your current iTunes playlists.

Personally, I am not sure if I am exited more by the fact that I can now sync multiple devices with this one program and not have to worry about what I am opening, or that this has taken the Amazon MP3 store away from the browser and onto my desktop.
