Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on November 07, 2008
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 3.0.7.1191
Pros: completed with music converter, party mode, and also ipod support!
Oh, how love it..Cons: Hmm.. maybe it's just so plain? no equalizer? maybe can get one when you change skin..
Summary: The difference between itunes and mediamonkey is the ipod support system.
Note that mediamonkey is universal! so you can load your music anywhere if you have mediamonkey! -
Version: MediaMonkey Standard 3.0.7.1191
"Best Music Player and Manager across all platforms"
Pros: Wide functionality, does whatever you want with downloadable "scripts". Very light on resources. Huge community support at www.mediamonkey.com. Wide variety of skins.
Cons: May be somewhat complicated or ugly looking initially, especially for users used to itunes. Using it more solves the former, skins solve thel atter
Summary: This is the best music player I've come across, and I use linux, windows, and mac. Its powerful, extremely fast, and can manage all 120 gigs of my music without fuss (unlike itunes). The only thing lacking is a refined GUI, but skins take care of th... read more >>

Version: MediaMonkey Standard 3.0.7.1191
Pros: This is the almost perfect music organizer. I've been using this program for a few years now and last year udgraded to gold.
Cons: I'm finally ready to replace media monkey because the program keeps removing my album art and it's getting really annoying to keep updating my ID3 tags.

Version: MediaMonkey Standard 3.0.7.1191
"Full & rich sounding player with many bells & whistles."
Pros: Super sharp visualizations screen that "pops" with vivid colors and never ending patterns that take you away from your computer work. The equalizer works great and enhances the audio beyond belief....a clearly superb player!
Cons: None found at all yet.
Summary: A must have replacement for Windows Player, WinMX, Jet Audio, DivX, Real Player. It surpasses these with incredible sound and well layed out screen. Where's this one been all our lives?? Bottom line is you can't beat it with a stick!!
