Publisher's description of MediaMonkey Standard

MediaMonkey is the music manager for serious music collectors and iPod users. It catalogs CDs, AAC, OGG, WMA, FLAC, MP3 and other audio files, including contemporary and classical music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc. It offers multiple tools for looking up and editing tags, and an automated library organizer to organize files on the hard drive. It includes a CD ripper, CD/DVD Burner, and audio converter for saving music, and advanced playlisting for creating music mixes. Its player automatically adjusts volume levels and supports a Party mode that locks the UI for use at public events.

Editor's review of MediaMonkey Standard

• "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.

  Version: MediaMonkey Standard 3.0.3.1183

  "Simply the BEST music player and organizer EVER!!!"

  by Wiseworm on July 7, 2008

  Pros: I've been using it for very long time now, MM3 has demonstrated once more his superiority above itunes,wmp and winamp (winamp almost save himself with its plugins,that you can also use on MM!). With a few clicks you can organize your library in various category and even create your own ones. The UI is the easiest in the market. The MM community is very productive : you can find tons of skins,plugins and scripts (I highly recommend MagicNode!). There's no features on the rival players you can't find in MM.

  Cons: The only flaw is lack of video reproduction since MM is intended specifically for large music library (+100k files support!!!).

  "Amazing"

  by jinggle on June 28, 2008

  Pros: It can play everything too! This is a excellent software!

  Cons: I just download it and I'm not sure if it is really a freeware or some kind of "30 days" trial.
