In case you're itching to use the software without reading the rest of the online help, here are a few tips to get you going:
The first time you run the application, you'll be prompted to select which folders to scan for music, and for what type of music files to scan for. Any music files found in these directories/subdirectories will be added to the Library.
If you press the Advanced button, you'll also be able to configure certain options such as removing underscores, or guessing Track information from the filename. When music is added to the Library, existing Tags are not modified, so if Infer Track Properties is enabled, you needn't worry that your existing tags will be changed in any way.

Once your files have been added to the Library, navigate your way through your music collection by clicking different nodes in the Library portion of the tree in the MediaMonkey Explorer. The Track list in the main panel will update, depending on which node you select.
To play a Track, simply double-click it in the Track list. That Track will begin playing, followed by Tracks that were listed subsequent to it (in the default player configuration). To play specific Tracks, select several and then click the Play Now button on the toolbar.
To see the list of Tracks that are currently playing, look in the Now Playing window or click the Now Playing node in the tree.

If you want to try editing the properties associated with a Track, simply select the Track, right-click on it, and choose Edit Properties . Make your changes, and click 'Ok' to update the Track's Tag.
As with other commands, if you select multiple Tracks and click Edit Properties , the command will apply to all of the selected Tracks.
Once you've played a few Tracks, you'll probably want to spend a bit of time customizing the application to suit your tastes. Try:
