MediaMonkey 3.2 Syncs with More Devices, Adds Auto Folder Watching [Updates]

Windows: We dig MediaMonkey for its album art and tag-fixing powers, but the free jukebox software can do so much more—like sync to nearly any smartphone or MP3 player, and automatically manage your music library. The marquee feature in MediaMonkey 3.2 is expanded device support, including WebOS devices like the Palm Pre and Pixi, the latest iPods and iPhones, Android phones (as general USB storage devices), and many more.

DoubleTwist + Amazon MP3 Store = One More Reason to Ditch iTunes [Downloads]

Remember doubleTwist, the very cool iTunes alternative that aims to easily sync any content to any device? Well now the ambitious tool is taking one more step to make iTunes obsolete, incorporating an Amazon MP3-powered music store.

(Click the image above for a closer look.) We've been particularly annoyed lately with Apple's regular refusal to allow generic, non-iPod players to sync with iTunes (it's near the top of our iTunes wishlist ), and now that Apple's been given the okay to continue doing just that, we're thrilled to see a third-party solution step in with a goal of providing syncing for any device, iPod or not.
