Importing Data


Once you’ve set this up and Doubletwist has imported some of your playlists and music from iTunes you’re ready to begin syncing files. Just like in iTunes, you can manually select files to push on to your phone or tell Doubletwist to sync entire playlists at once.

Setting Up Double Twist and AirPlay

Doubletwist is pretty well designed, basically, because it’s a clone of iTunes, so if you’ve used iTunes before it should be too much of a transition. This guide assumes that you want to set up Airsync for wireless syncing as well, but if you haven’t bought a copy of it you can still use this to set up syncing by USB connection. So, if you don’t plan to use Airsync be sure you have a USB cable to sync with. Again, part of Doubletwist’s popularity is that it mirrors iTunes’ simplicity.

Steps after Configuration

Once you install Doubletwist go ahead and launch it. Now, the Doubletwist has a ton of options for importing your music — from manually adding files or folders to importing playlists from Windows Media Player or iTunes. But if you’re like most folks you simply want Doubletwist to replicate whatever music and files you have in iTunes. To make sure this is happening, go to Edit and then Preferences and make sure that the two options for Scanning and Refreshing your iTunes library are checked. Now, every time you start Doubletwist you can be sure that any new music from iTunes will be available for syncing to your Android phone or tablet.
