I have been trying to use double twist sync my iTunes library with my droid but each time it only syncs 1 song and then stops because it dosnt recognize the drm or something. I also tried copying some movies from iTunes manually to my droid but it won't let me play them because of the drm. How do I get rid of all of these drms.

You have to sign into itunes, and have itunes remove the drm from the songs (costs money per song).

Theres not so legal ways, but I dont know how. I refuse to use anything apple.

But that shouldn't keep the rest of the songs from syncing. And it never even gets to the movies.

My other suggestion is try iSyncr (there is a free version that allows you sync like 20 songs - it won't sync individual songs but it will sync playlists) and if they sync with the free version - it would be worth purchasing the paid version...the dev just added an add-on feature where you could sync wirelessly and he is working to be able to sync the songs individually...outside of that, I am not sure...I have close to 1000 songs thru iTunes and they are all on my DX...

If the videos in question were purchased from iTunes, you will have the same DRM issue. Unfortunately, there really is no "legitimate" solution to this.

If you encoded them yourself using Handbrake or something similar than DoubleTwist should work.

I just downloaded Double Twist today, myself. It played my iTunes music videos, as well as some .avi movies I'd ripped from my DVDs some time ago to view on my laptop. I didn't have any iTunes movies, though.

Did the movies you're referring to come as iTunes purchases or did you get them another way?

There are plenty of other (and legal) ways to remove the DRM from your purchased music. I used Soundtaxi and it worked like a charm. I ran all of my iTunes purchased music through it and ordinary MP3 files that can be played on any PC or MP3 music player came out.
