General Configuration

From the main menu, click Tools > Options > General.

Interface Language

Allows you to choose MediaMonkey's language. You must close and restart MediaMonkey for the change to take effect.

Check For Updates

If this option is enabled, MediaMonkey will check (over the internet) whether a newer version exists.

Allow Just one instance of MediaMonkey

This option forces a maximum of one MediaMonkey window to be open at any time.

Always Show Tray Icon

This causes the MediaMonkey icon to always appear in the system tray. If enabled, it is also possible to enable Pop-up Track info in tray so that each time a new Track plays, information about it will appear in a bubble. By default, this Pop-up appears only when MediaMonkey isn't the active application on your desktop.

Minimize Settings

By default, MediaMonkey minimizes to the taskbar. It is possible though to cause it to Minimize to tray in which case it will appear only in the System tray when minimized. The most powerful option is Minimize to Now Playing , which causes the 'Now Playing' dialog to appear whenever the main application is minimized, giving you some control over your music, even when working in another application.

Close To Tray

This option causes MediaMonkey to never truly close--it always runs in the background, and is accessible via the system tray.

Background Tasks Priority

MediaMonkey performs numerous operations such as CD Ripping, Conversion, Tagging, Volume Levelling, etc. in the background. This option sets the priority of these background tasks. By default it is set to 'Lower' so that these tasks don't slow down other operations.
