Is it possible to install MM to an external drive so that my collection of music will be portable and can be hooked to other PCs?

I HATE Media Monkey. It will lose ALL of your art work. You can only recover it one song at a time.

Another 2 thumbs up for MediaMonkey. I have been using it for a couple of years, maybe more, and would hardly leave it. It gives you SO much control!

Version 3, if not a quantum leap, is definitely one large step forward in the UI dept. The task bar applet is excellent.

I guess 90% of the software I use is free/open source, and even in that mindset, I’m planning to upgrade to the not-free version of the Monkey. This much I love it ;)

To all the “is this an ad?” crowd: I think Jaymis (and every blogger, for that matter) is entitled to an opinion (don’t DUH me just yet), and enthusiasm happens to be an opinion. Isn’t that one of our big motivations to read blogs: the author’s opinion?
If you only like authors that rant about everything and never get excited about anything, that’s OK. But I don’t mind if an author goes crazy on something, as long as s/he means it.

Love the Monkey…

Just adding for other people’s interest: RexExpReplace is a fantastic script for MediaMonkey. It allows you to do all sorts of smart automated search and replace operations on your tags. It makes managing a collection of music possible without hand-editing every track.

Also, the official version of MagicNodes doesn’t appear to work in MediaMonkey v3 (someone please correct me if I’m wrong). I’m about to try the unofficial version here: http://solair.eunet.yu/~zvezdand/MagicNodes.htm

Mediamonkey is a very, very, good product. The free version is good, the pay version better.

Thanks for the review. I have been testing mediamonkey and foobar lately, since winamp has finally let me down.

MM does not support m4a. What are people using to play those pesky m4as laying around?

daniel & rigel are assholes and should not be allowed to “contribute” to this forum. I think they should take their teen angst and remove themselves from the gene pool.

I have found the review interesting. I have a decent 40k+ collection of music, almost all well over 256k. Previously I have used musicmatch, some winamp and in the last 3 years mediaplayer which I like a lot. The last one has a good feature like it does not show all the songs of the artist but when I open the selected singers folder. I find that extremely important with a big database. Mediamonkey unfortunately does not have this feature the same way (the additional box does not work for me in this case).
I also find that winamp has the best sound quality on an upper end sound system, media player is 2nd, and media monkey comes in 3rd- and with some rich music flac it is a quite difference. I mean it is not terrible, but listening one after another it is easily worse.
I love the way mediamonkey fills the uncomplete tags, and covers though.
