Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Despite a glut of free player/encoders, it's tough to find one that meets our expectations. Formerly known as Sound DB, MediaMonkey has excellent library-management tools that keep the largest digital music collections well organized. Stir that up with integrated CD and DVD burning, a stellar interface, a full-featured encoder, and the ability to sync with portable audio devices such as the iPod, and you have a pretty compelling product.
Upon first launch, the program scans your drive for supported digital media files to add to the library. Files are sorted based on their ID3 tags, and the helpful Auto-Rename and Auto-Tag From Filename features keep untagged tracks from falling through the cracks. Party mode locks down your library while still allowing people to request songs. Auto DJ plays selections from your library even when there are no requests in the queue, and the all-important iPod and portable device synchronization works well. Third-party plug-ins are available from the site if you want to tinker with the playback and encoding engine or add additional sound-processing effects. The interface is well designed, with clean, colorful icons throughout.
Considering the overall polish of this application, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything you don't like. Although it's definitely geared toward managing extensive collections, just about anyone will appreciate the comprehensive feature set. For $20, MediaMonkey Gold adds advanced features such as sleep, scripting, previewing, and on-the-fly file conversion when syncing with a portable device.

Version: MediaMonkey Standard 3.0.2.1134
Pros: For those unfamiliar, I can guarantee it works perfectly with 32 bit Vista. This a well designed, well thought out, simple to use music player, organizer, burning solution all in one app.
Cons: No cone on Media Monkey. I suggest the complaints be re-addressed by those posters because they couldn't be more wrong. Reminds me of the garbage, useless reviews on AVG free & AdAware 2007.

"I've been using MM for well over a year."
Pros: With great results. Unlike the review claiming not a Vista version, it works juat as good on my XP Pro and Vista 32bit Home Premium and Ultimate systems. I boudht the pro varsion last fall, way before version 3 was available at download,com and never looked back. It's a lifetime key. Easy to use, player, organizer and CD burner all in one program.
Cons: No cons at all on this program. Just a note: have a good look at the aadd / scan files options or you might find yourself redoing it like I did, Thats only because my 1900+ song collection ws started almost 5 years ago and my folder / play lists are already done.

"This is a winner! Help me organize my music files, easily. Brilliant!!!"
Pros: I find this useful in organizing mp3s' into separate folders (by artist) in just a few click. Yes, its a little bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you'll love it.
Saved me a great deal of effort and time. Best for music collectors...
