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 3.0.3.1164
"Great player, organizer, CD burner."
Pros: I really can't say much more then I did in my summary. It's simple to use and does it all with my 1,900 song music collection. I own the gold version and love it.
Cons: Right version no., wrong version download. This is on download.com, not Media Monkey. I recommend downloading this version from Softpedia. There the version no. and download are both correct. There, users will also find it works on 32 bit versions of Vista.

Version: MediaMonkey Standard 3.0.3.1164
Pros: not a fan of RP11, have RP10 but license is invalid on Vista..don't work so just have to use basic player, love WinMP11 but playback thru the home system and you can detect it's limitations on throughput, have jetaudio VXPlus..neat...but I think I prefer this, it seems to amalgamate all the cool features of aforementioned into one...
Love the UI, seamless playback when switching tracks....ultra dj friendly and sounds great thru the home amp...
Cons: although it's no big....it won't play AAC files without quicktime...ugh...and the playback seems to jump when tinkering with the equalizer..

"It's the only Media Player I need."
Pros: I love the new interface. It adds all of the features I liked about iTunes and Microsoft Media Player and still lets me organize the musinc the way I want.
