Sync, Play & Send to Android with doubleTwist - http://www.doubletwist.com/dt...

Jealous of the easy media management of iTunes, but don't use an iPod/iPhone? Then this is the app for you! </tv announcer voice> Seriously, though. doubleTwist is a great app for managing your music, photos and music and syncing them between your desktop (Mac or Windows) and your Android phone. It also converts videos and music files to compatible formats when syncing to your device (I haven't tested this). Also has Amazon MP3 store integration for easy browsing and purchase of unencumbered audio files. Highly recommended.

Works well for synching to Droid.
- Mike Reynolds
Yup, I've been really happy with it.
- Jason Huebel
from Android
have you figured out how to get it recognize (and keep it reference to) a networked harddrive?
- Jeffrey Canton
this looks interesting...but judging from this: http://forums.doubletwist.com/default... I will be waiting a long time since I use linux. :(
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
On my Android device, I just copy files onto the SD card. Why do I need this?
- sjjh
Well, it includes Amazon MP3 Store support. It also includes support for moving Photos and Videos back and forth between your Droid and PC/Mac. Never underestimate having a nice, centralized drag-and-drop interface for managing your files. That's part of what makes iTunes so popular-- ease of use. YOU may not need it, but the average user will. Personally, I think Verizon should be...

- Jason Huebel
@slayerboy, you could use Amarok.
- Jason Huebel
Hmm. When I plug an HTC Magic or Tattoo into a USB port (without removing the card) on my PC, the device is recognised as a disk drive. I then have a drag & drop interface from Windows Explorer. I agree that some apps should be included though. For example, how about File Explorer on the device? The first app I install is always OI File Manager
- sjjh
I use Banshee and it fits my needs, but would be nice to have an "all-in-one" package like this on linux
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
from IM
@sjjh, there's no predefined directory structure on the Droid, though. So you could put music pretty much anywhere on the SD card. WE understand that, but the average user is going to wonder where to put their music, videos and pictures. doubleTwist takes that uncertainty out of the equation. That's important to adoption by less technically-savvy people.
- Jason Huebel
@slayerboy, Banshee looks REALLY nice. It supports more than doubleTwist does (for instance, podcasts).
- Jason Huebel
Hmmm, does it support photos? Doesn't appear to.
- Jason Huebel
nope no photos yet.....although Banshee is really frustrating me on ubuntu 9.10....it's a resource hog
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
from IM
Meh, most media managers are resource hogs, though. All the cover art, special widgets, etc make it so. I don't really worry about memory usage anymore. Now if it's eating up unnecessary CPU time, that's different. I hadn't heard of Banshee until your mention of it. I'm a long-time KDE user, so I tend to stick to Qt-based apps (don't really have anything against GTK/Gnome, mind you).
- Jason Huebel
Converts video to MP4 format.
- Mike Reynolds
Works for Blackberry too. [FWD'ED]
- sofarsoShawn
@Mike, forgot about that. Yeah, it does media conversion, if necessary, when you copy from your library to the device.

Why exactly is it a hotbed Zoli ?

Yann: I'm in the front row. ReTel is up first. They help stores and restaurants optimize their operations. http://www.reteltechnologies.com/
- Robert Scoble
Kashif: Boulder has a higher percentage of educated people than any other city in USA, from what I was told last night.
- Robert Scoble
Kashif: Boulder is also very beautiful and geeks who come here for College don't want to leave. I totally grok that after walking around last night. Finally, there's a good community here that supports startups.
- Robert Scoble
the mentor crew is impressive, me thinks.... looking at http://www.techstars.org/
- Holly Rae, FFer
ReTel is interesting. Takes security video from retail stores, slices that up, sends it to workers around the world, who then analyze that video for him. Helps catch employees stealing from businesses, etc.
- Robert Scoble
aah thanks Robert, Ive heard about the natural beauty of Boulder, but now that it has geek points I need to visit that place
- Kashif Khan
Do they have Ustream.tv anywhere? anyone knows? #techstars
- Yann Ropars
Boulder's been a tech hotbed for a while - I had dealings with Republic Telecom (they made a Voice-over-Frame Relay system) there in the 1990s. Make sure to get to the Gold Hill Inn (up a dirt road into the Front Range) while you're there.

It really amazes me that the newspaper industry has so buried it's head in the sand and learned nothing from the other media outlets (chiefly the recording industry).

Two questions, which always occur to me when New Media critics roll their eyes and mock news publishers for wanting paywalls: 1). If not some form of subscriptions, what will work?

NPR has subscription revenue AND $200+ million courtesy of Joan Kroc. Who needs a paywall when you have a moat of cash like that?
- Alan Mairson
I don't get it. IF Vivian Schiller is correct, IF it's a delusion, IF "people will not in large numbers pay for news content online," how does the $200 million Joan Kroc gave to NPR alter that equation for the news organizations planning to charge? She may be wrong in her interpretation of history, her predictions about user behavior may be off, but I don't see what the $8 million to $10 million in income from the endowment has to do with the situation for the news companies she's referencing.
- Jay Rosen
Agreed, Jay. Schiller estimates in that very article that the endowment (currently about $258M according to Wikipedia) would need to be $8 _billion_ to fully support "the operating budget of a large national-international news organization". 3.5% of that total in the bank is fantastic, but it doesn't make NPR magically immune to financial considerations.
- Ken Kennedy
Annual newsroom budget for the NYTimes is about $200 million.
- Jay Rosen
... My point: NPR has a business model that doesn't require a paywall—and that business model includes more Joan Krocs. The Washington Post & countless other papers don't have that option.
- Alan Mairson
Okay, they don't have that option because no one gave them a $200 million endowment. Message received. I heard you the first, second and third times you made this point, Alan. Full stop. And how does that point bear on the question of whether users will pay for online news? I must be really thick because I STILL don't get it.
- Jay Rosen
Well, Jay, I guess you didn't hear the other part of my message, which I've also repeated multiple times: paywalls are a "delusion"; paywalls are a "mass delusion." People won't pay for (most) content. Vivian Schiller is right. We agree with each other. Full stop. Everything okay thus far? .... Good. Now here's the second point: Listening to Vivian Schiller dismiss paywalls is like...

- Alan Mairson

Also, http://twitter.com/jayrose... ... "I am myself STRONGLY in favor of having pro journalists who get paid to do great work full time, and I consider them essential to the nation."
- Jay Rosen
Alan, I hear your point...but saying "Who is the right messenger? The *current* VP for nytimes.com or the publisher of the Washington Post" --- when that happens, they debate is over. That's like saying that until the opposing viewpoint agrees with me, my argument isn't valid.
- Ken Kennedy
In addition, I think the comparison of Schiller to a poor girl who married rich is a bit disingenuous. It's a valid decision to vote with your feet. If her analysis of the situation was that that the NYT wasn't moving from its delusional decision (that charging for commodity news is a good idea), and NPR seemed like a better fit and a more enlightened place to work...calling her a gold-digger is pretty unfair.
- Ken Kennedy
aside from the debate over who should be taken as credible in the discussion, isn't much of the newspaper's problem generating subscribers a result of sheer overcapacity?

If 73% of the news in a paper is syndicated, why would anyone pay for it multiple times and in an...

@Alan: wrt your comment, "And to call NPR "enlightened" is to suggest that the NYTimes is not." -- I didn't say that...I [edit] said that, to Schiller, NPR (might) "[seem like] a better fit and a more enlightened place to work". WRT this situation (news as commodity), I'd stand by (ie, agree with) that statement, based on what I know. Also, my point there was that your gold-digger comment was harsh, not that the NYT was a bad, evil place.
- Ken Kennedy
@Ken: FYI - I wasn't trying to establish my "chops" - just wanted to share a story that highlights the problem most newspapers & magazines will have emulating the NPR model.

Coming in late, but... the NYT could only get 225K online subscribers during the paywall era to cough up $50 each. To me, that suggests that even if people haven't yet thought of any good, non-advertiser alternatives to paywalls, paywalls themselves won't work.

If I understand Jay's argument, we are in agreement, for once. (I put aside his reflexive and unhelpful personal invective - "clown," etc. - as a feature of his prose style.)
