Share MP3s With Your Facebook Friends Using DoubleTwist

The new desktop application Double Twist lets users share audio, video and photos between their computers. It can also strip the digital rights management restrictions from songs purchased from iTunes by rerecording them into the MP3 format, so you can share those too. (Also, by creating DRM-free MP3s from your iTunes music, DoubleTwist frees those files to be played on any digital audio player -- not just an iPod or iPhone.)

DoubleTwist is the work of Monique Farantzos and DVD Jon (whose real name is Jon Lech Johansen), the programmer who made his name cracking the CSS encryption that's part of the DVD standard.

Their company also launched a Facebook app called Twist Me that lets you and your friends share audio, video, and pictures with each other. The Facebook app works in sync the DoubleTwist desktop application. A drop box within the app lets you send photos, videos, and music out to your friends and receive stuff from them.
