Apparently no one has the time to create a folder/drag and drop. I love the fact that android is so open(I actually don't own one YET) My wife wanted to buy a IPhone I refused to by her one. I feel IPhone takes the control out of the consumers hands. I have never liked iTunes or Icrap anything for that reason. Its like buying a my passport and NOT formating it. What! You really think the bulky programs are going to be able to do it faster than you! Come On! Then you run into rules! OMFG! NO! The F is not a type O. Rules man ICrap has so many rules. O and don't mess up or all 17,000 in your little itune folder are GONE! Yep! Drag/Drop This is the same as copy so you mess up still have an original. Hummmm! Smarts, I don't now? Come people We like android because it isnt iphone stop bitching and start a revolution buy ANDROID. GO D

It's the hardware. The greatest feature of the iPhone with relation to music, is the physical connector, and the ability of 3rd party systems to both control the player via the connector, and stream the audio out via the connector, while also charging via the same connector. The quantity of 3rd party peripherals that can use the iPhone connector is amazing, and is a huge part of the music ecosystem that makes the iPhone a far superior music device than Android. Google should attempt to deliver a similar capability, consistently, via the microUSB connection. If there could be a consistent API for 3rd party applications and hardware devices to access the default music player, and also stream audio out, that would be HUGE.

The ability to plug your device in and sync your latest updated playlists is something *needed* for the Android OS. App management I could care less about. I had that ability with iTunes/iPod Touch but rarely (if ever) used it. @*d* Actually, with DT's ability to convert video that wouldn't play (if I was too stupid that I just copied it over without conversion) otherwise, is an awesome feature to have and is needed. Why the anger bro? I don't buy technology to make more work in my life! Relax. @Will S

Photoshop is bloatware compared to something like Paint.NET if you're only going to be doing cropping and photo resizing. Right now iTunes is a much better product than Doubletwist, but it can get a whole lot better.

Just mount your SD card and drag your music where you want it. iTunes is crappy bloatware who wants it anyways.

But it won't. I wound up getting Missing Sync for Android and it works great...but at $40, a pretty expensive solution.

Very nice feature. I watched all of Dexter on my MT3G last year.

The OS is capable of moving song files to any Android phone. Are US consumers really so f*$king stupid they need a program to put a playlist on a phone?? iTunes is nothing but bloat, and iPhone users are among the stupidest people live, hence I see their need, but Android is for normal people who can add 2 + 2. Just mount your SD card, then drag & drop. Who needs iTunes? The OS is capable of moving song files to any Android phone.

I want one software for all my devices, which include Apple as well as the Nexus One. But due to limitations, it won't sync my wife's iPod Touch.

With a legitimate Library of over 17,000 tracks, it took over 6 hours for Doubletwist to populate its Library. iTunes deals with large libraries much quicker, and it's simply a smoother experience. I do hope that these partnerships will help it evolve faster, as I do think it's the best "iTunes bridge" software available for Android users.

It's slow, unresponsive, and is missing some important features like playlist folders. Bear in mind that I'm dealing with a 17,000 track library, but iTunes works with it just fine. That said, I'd really like to see it improved because I think it's a better "iTunes bridge" than iTunes Agent. I tried Doubletwist recently and was severely disappointed.
