MediaMonkey Readme
Feb 10, 2009
-------------------------
1. Introduction
MediaMonkey is an easy-to-use media organizer for serious music collectors. It catalogs
music files (MP3s, WMAs, OGG, AAC/M4A, MPC, APE, FLAC, VQF, WAV files) and audio CDs, and helps you:
- Organise your music and help you find the tracks you're looking for
- Tag tracks in your library (automatically) in a variety of formats (ID3v1&v2, OGG, WMA, APE2, RIFF)
- Play MP3s and other audio formats, level volume, and display funky visualizations
- Synchronize tracks with your portable audio player
- Record CDs into OGG, MP3, and WMA files
- Convert any supported format into into OGG, WAV, MP3 or WAV files
- Create playlists and music mixes quickly (manually or automatically) to suit any occasion
+ Much, much more...
2. OS Requirements
MediaMonkey has been tested on:
- Windows Vista
- Windows XP
- Windows 2000 (SP3/SP4)
- Windows 98 SE
- Windows ME
3. Installation
a) Double-click the file you downloaded, and follow the on-screen instructions.
b) If you had a previous version of MediaMonkey installed, it is recommended that you rescan your
drives for any Album Art so that the 'Files to Edit|Unknown Album Art' node is updated. To do
so, press <Insert> to get to the 'Add Tracks' dialog. Press the 'Options' button and uncheck
'Only for files with changed timestamp or file size', and then select all your drives and click
'Ok' to rescan them. After you're done, re-enable the 'Only for files with changed timestamp
or file size' option for better performance.
If you had a previous version of MediaMonkey Gold installed, and deleted it prior to
installing the new version of MediaMonkey, then the configuration settings of your Virtual CD
will be lost. Go to: Tools | Options | Virtual CD & Preview, and reset the Virtual CD directory
to its previous location.
c) If no sound is heard when you try to play a track, you may want to try switching output plug-ins.
Go to Tools | Options | Player | Output Plug-ins and change from DirectSound output to
WaveOut output.
d) If you have problems playing or encoding WMA (Window Media Audio) files, it may
be due to outdated Windows Media Drivers. You can install the most recent drivers from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx
Note: MediaMonkey supports WMA DRM 9, but does not yet support files protected by WMA DRM 10.
e) If you try to generate a report or use Scripting functions and receive an error, it is likely
because Windows Scripting functionality hasn't been enabled (sometimes the case in Windows 98).
The error that appears is "Microsoft VBScript runtime error. ActiveX component can't create
object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject' ". If this occurs on Win98, go to the Control Panel and:
-Click 'Add/Remove Programs'
-Select the 'Windows Setup' Tab
-Choose 'Accssories' (List) and click 'Details'
-Check that "Windows Scripting Host" is checked off
4. Advanced Configuration
a) Command line options
A number of flags can be set when running MediaMonkey from the command line:
/NoSplash - don't show splash screen when starting MediaMonkey
/Next - play files after the current track
/Add - add files to the Now Playing queue
/Party - start up in Party Mode
/Play - start up and play whatever is currently in the Now Playing queue
/ResetToolbars - resets toolbar configuration to default settings
You can use these options as follows:
MediaMonkey /NoSplash /Add "My song.mp3"

6. Plug-in Notes for DeFX for Winamp v0.97
DeFX by Franco Catrin is included with MediaMonkey, allowing you to use MediaMonkey for karaoke via
its voice removal function. The full features of DeFX are:
a) Pitch Modulation. Choose between Chorus, Flange or Phaser (New), and set your favourite
configuration, changing Rate, Depth and Amount of effect.
b) Voice Removal. Remove the center channel depending of the specified amount. Most singers
record their voices on this channel, if so, the voice will be removed.
c) Reverberation. Make your music sounds like it were played inside/outside a big room.
Pitch change, rise or move down the pitch of the song without affecting tempo.
d) Balance. Lets you hear only the left or right channel on both speakers.
To activate this plug-in, simply go to Tool|Options|Plugins|DSP Effects and make Defx active.
Press Configure and you'll see a message box asking you to launch the control panel, just press OK.
For more information about how the voice removal effect works and a full version history, see:
-The DeFXInfo.htm file in the plugins directory
-The new Defx www site at: http://defx.sourceforge.net/
If you want to contact Franco, write to ancelot@directo.cl. For information about future updates
send a mail with the subject "I use DeFX" to be added to a mail list.
THANKS to all the people who have give some attention to this little plug-in.
