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.

"Not good for migrating off of iTuens"
Pros: Still looking
Cons: Looses all of your art work. Doesn't really help with duplicate albums, which was my main goal, that and get the missing album cover art which it also does not do ery well. I can't go one by one through 22000+ songs and recover the art work.
Summary: I'm one of the millions looking for a replacement for iTunes. After working with Medi Maonkey I found that that was NOT it. It lost all of my artwrok and when trying to reload my artwork form the web (Auto-Tag from Web ), it replaced all of my art... read more >>

Version: MediaMonkey Standard 3.1.0.1242 Beta
Pros: Great music organizer. Favorite feature: writes CD 'Text', great when playing CD's on another computer, will read text titles. Beats Winamp for organizing music and Winamp will not write 'CD Text'.
Cons: Music "Player" sucks. I have monster stereo and this player has Bad sound.
Summary: Use Media Monkey for organizing music and recording CD compilations, but use Winamp "Player" to play the music.
In options set "Monitor Folder" to the main folder where all of you... read more >>

"awesome music player/ organizer"
Pros: Works great on my Windows XP computer. I only use some of the many features. My favorite is the ability to view/ change the "Track Properties" for an MP3 by selecting the file and typing Shift/ Enter.
Cons: No problems found.
