Once the songs are downloaded, doubleTwist places them in your Purchases playlist. There's a list of purchases you have made through doubleTwist, as well as any devices you currently have connected. These include the Music Store (Amazon MP3), your music library imported directly from iTunes, your Photos imported from iPhoto, and your Movies (also imported from iTunes). After you sign in with a doubleTwist account (which you can create from the software itself if you don't have one), the left-hand column allows you to choose between a variety of options. The interface of the software itself is clean and easy to understand, especially if you have ever used iTunes before.
doubleTwist's goal is clearly to offer a clean and very iTunes-like interface for playing media and buying from Amazon MP3, though our initial experiences left us a little disappointed.
The software, which launched Wednesday, comes courtesy of Jon Lech Johansen ("DVD Jon"), famed for his own personal war on DRM before dropping DRM in music became en vogue. Amazon has just gotten more competitive with iTunes on the desktop via a new release of doubleTwist for the Mac and Windows, which now offers an Amazon MP3 front-end as well as integrated media software and support for numerous handheld devices.
