• "Let the monkey manage your tunes"

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.

  "Almost too much function but one killing limitation"

  by J G M on November 3, 2008

  Pros: A solid media management platform with more features than you'll ever need. Good integration with Rockbox and a good search function.

  Cons: CD ripping has now been time-limited (30 days) on the free version. Functional overkill sometimes makes simple tasks more difficult than necessary. No good label making function. Funny about removable drives.

  Summary: I have a large MP3 collection and need a solid jukebox to rip, manage, play, and burn tracks. I was a MusicMatch fan for years (including ponying up for the deluxe version) but after that was absorbed by the inferior Yahoo jukebox (which is now gon... read more >>

  "Works reliably"

  by rgmarkey on October 26, 2008

  Pros: Comprehensive and fast

  Cons: A little overwhelming. You gain some control, but give up some simplicity versus iTunes.

  Summary: I will use this from time to time, but iTunes will remain my primary way to keep my media files sorted out.

  "top music player"

  by kinnth on October 22, 2008

  Pros: Has all the best features of itunes coupled with all of the best features of winamp. It lets multiple libraries be made, many playlist options, good tag finding abilities and skinning.

  Cons: not quite as seamless as itunes but very close, very little wrong with it.

  Summary: best media player available
