Download This: doubleTwist Player

Posted Jun 5 2010 by Scott Webster in  with 36 Comments



Earlier this week saw the release of a doubleTwist media player for Android which plays both audio and video files. Naturally, it integrates easily with their free desktop client for importing and exporting playlists and podcasts. Available free for a limited time, it’s every bit as polished and clean as similar titles and far better than the stock media player that comes with Android. The company promises widgets and other features down the road so you’re advised to grab it out of the Market today. This way you’re sure to get the updates for free as well.

    This player sucks. You have to sync it with the desktop app, it won't see the music already on your sd card. And there's no Linux client. Until they let the app see music already on the sd card, in the standard place, forget it. Every other player does this. It's not hard.

      i never synced it up, and it finds my music fine…..dunno wtf your talking about.

        Well I dunno either then. All I get when I tap Artists, Albums, or Songs is a screen that says, "Use doubleTwist on your Mac or PC to sync music to your phone". Tapping Videos sees some videos, but that's it. There's no settings other than Auto USB drive.

    it's buggy and it read all the music on my phone just fine, actually it read all media files on my phone, even ones inside the apk's. it's slow, album art takes forever to render, the graphics are too large and block, a little too windows 7 for my taste. but it is a pretty good start, probably a better start than many other players.

    It doesn't even read music on my SD card? Sounds pretty pointless. If I wanted to have to sync with a desktop or laptop, I would have bought an iPhone :)

      ……..all my music is on my SD card….reads it fine….

  • mauriceh

    It read an indexed all the media on m N1 just fine
    It included playlists, podcasts and video a well.
    Have not yet played much, but it seems OK so far..
    Integration with my PC version is nice ( a la iTunes, but not so Apple possessive)
    No Linux client is annoying..

    It's worth noting that the desktop app requires you to create an account. According to the devs, this is used only to track usage stats and for some future social networking aspects. But there's no way to opt out and there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent it calling home, so, you know, careful on that front.

    That said, I'll give the Android player app a try.

    Slow, feature limited, unreliable: disappointing. There are far better media players @ android market.

    Really beautiful. Wish it would show bigger Album Art like Mixzing does. Wish Mixzing would be using default Album Art location like _all_ other Media Players do :P

    Doubletwist is a memory-hogging parasite built into the T-Mobile Galaxy S I bought and for some corporate greedy reason a user cannot uninstall it. Shame on Google, Samsung or T-Mobile who is responsible for this.
