Publisher's description of MediaMonkey 2.4.1

MediaMonkey is a music manager and media jukebox for serious music collectors. It catalogs your CDs, OGG, WMA, MPC, FLAC, APE, WAV and MP3 audio files. It looks up missing album, art, and track information via Freedb and the Web, and includes an intelligent tag editor and an automated file and directory renamer to organize your music library. It includes a CD ripper, CD burner, and audio converter for saving music, and manual or automated play list editors for creating music mixes. Its player automatically adjusts volume levels so that you don't have continually fiddle with the volume control and supports hundreds of Winamp plug-ins and visualizations; or if you prefer, it can use Winamp as the default player. It also includes portable audio device synchronization that allows you to synch tracks and play lists with portable audio devices.

Version 2.4.1 adds support for iPod synchronization.

Editor's review of MediaMonkey 2.4.1

• "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 tight Winamp and Nero CD-burning integration, 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 prompts you to scan your drive for any supported digital media files to add them to the library. Files are sorted based on the ID3 tag, and helpful Auto-Rename and Auto-Tag From Filename features keep untagged tracks from falling through the cracks. 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, and previewing.

  "Awesome program and extremely easy to use. Get it while it's free!"

  by pgoodmanlb on June 9, 2005

  Pros: Very easy to learn and use. The best media manager I've used. I can't believe it's free. Small charge to upgrade but there's really no need. The file converter is perfect. This med man has it all!

  Cons: Only searches amazon.com for album info.
