Media Monkey

Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2011 9:53 am

Has anyone used Media monkey, and if so did you like it?

Like most, I have a massive music collection, including alot of ipod files that are named in four letter codes read by ipod, or "track **" and so on.

Does anyone know of a good program to manage such music. Windows media actually does a good job of sorting however I was looking for soemthing that will rename my files properly usually from the tags..

I don't know, any ideas would be helpful.

I think Ive tried all the media players, media monkey is ok like most of them, I keep going back to wmp but because its just as good. I think I had problems with getting media monkey to play multiple .flacs

I have Media Monkey and like it, it does have it's flaws though, I for one don't have an ipod so I can't really comment on that side of it but what I can say is you will have to manually scan for newly added music unless you buy the premium software, unlike WMP "open file location" which is handy when burning to a CD or transferring your music to an MP3 or ipod doesn't exist, (it doesn't have this function) the free version also doesn't have a CD burner built in but having an Ipod this probably wont matter to you, I have also tried Winamp and the only thing I didn't like about that software was that if the player couldn't find the album art itself that's it, you couldn't manually put a picture from Google images or somewhere similar in the album art space using copy/paste, with Media Monkey and WMP you can.

I haven't tried MP3Tag, I might give that a go myself. Very Happy
