MediaMonkey is an easy-to-use music manager and media jukebox for serious music collectors and iPod users. 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 playlist 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 quickly synch tracks and playlists with iPods and other portable audio devices.

    I do like this, and think it's the best of the media players/managers around. But

    I really really really wish it would support ipod touch/iphone without having iTunes installed.
    I do wish it supported audiobooks and movies. Because however much I loathe iTunes (and believe me I really do) it does allow me to put audiobooks and movies on my ipod while media monkey doesn't.

    I think the interface could do with some polish - look at Bansee (linux), songbird and even, iTunes for ideas for UI (I will concede that the iTunes interface is quite nice - shame the rest of the app is such dogsh**)

    Hands down the best music player and organizer!
    I happily paid for the gold license a few years ago and it's been worth every cent. I recently switched to linux and one of the first things I realized was just how much I took MM for granted; ripping music, encoding to and from different formats (wma, ogg, flac), ipod support (say goodbye to annoying itunes + quicktime), cataloguing music and great playlist features make it my #1 choice.

    Unless you pay for the gold version your hardware functionality is reduced to 4x writing capability? Nope.

    Mediamonkey is by far the best itunes alternative for loading songs to your ipod. i use media monkey for just transfurring music to CD and ipod. for creating playlists and just listening to music on my PC Winamp is still my top app
