SwapTunes icon - Swaptunes lets you sync two separate iTunes music libraries to your iPhoneWe love the iPhone’s ability to easily and quickly transfer music from our iTunes’ library. There’s nothing like a little plug and click simplicity to take any and all inconvenience out of make accessing your music a breeze. But, there’s just one little catch – you can only synchronize the music from a single computer’s iTunes library.  That is, until now.

The newest third-party native application available through the Nullriver iPhone Installer (Installer.app) is SwapTunes. Wait, you do have Installer.app installed, right? With the AppTappInstaller, there’s no excuse not to. Anyway, this nifty little app basically allows you to store two separate music libraries on your iPhone – and lets you switch between the two libraries once they’re loaded up on your iPhone. Sync your iPhone with the first iTunes library (disconnect afterwards), then run the SwapTunes app from your iPhone, then sync with the second iTunes library, and then run SwapTunes to switch between your two media libraries. It’s that simple.

SwapTunes is readily available through Installer.app on your iPhone. Find the SwapTunes.app under “Utilities” and click install.

These third-party native apps are really starting to fill in all the gaps that Apple failed to address yet. We’re rooting for all the developers out there – go out there and show Apple how it’s done!

    hey, the swap tunes on my iphone will not download because it comes up with an error message saying “Firmware 1.1.2, or earlier, is required for this version of Swap Tunes”. is there any other way of getting this app that is compatible with a newer firmware ?
