MediaMonkey Tips

Media Monkey in Ubuntu WORKING

Triying and reading in many places I found the solution in a Media Monkey forum, I try it and is working with minor glitches but can play and organize your collection with good performance

I use the latest beta for media monkey, the internal player have problems, a clevr guy thinks use winamp as player and is working.
The how to (credit to Morfeus) with some minor modifications

- install Crossover
- download MM latest version
- install it using Crossover to a Windows 2000 bottle (you'll see that option if you try to install it, do NOT use a Win98 bottle)
- DO NOT try to start MM now
- install IE6 to that same bottle (from the Crossover Standart applications)
- install Windows Mediaplayer 6.4 from the Crossover Standart applications to the same bottle
- install Winamp (I use latest) to the same bottle
- run Winamp and disable all windows except the player
- disable update lookup in Winamp
- disable anything in Winamp that has nothing to do with plain playing of music
- now start MM, it should show the splash and start up normally
- go to settings and configure the above downloaded and installed Winamp as player
- close MM
- close Winamp
- restart MM

For me - as you can see from the screenshot above - MM runs almost perfectly, even auto tagging from Amazon, Podcasts, internetradio and Gold registration worked.

Not working: reading audio cd's

When starting up MM an error message complaing about the player configuration appears, just click "OK", it works (at least here).

Enjoy,
Morfeus
