Mediamonkey 5 beta 320kbps#

IвЂ™m amazed at how many poor players exist and how few goods ones there are, this player rates 5 out of 5 in my opinion and IвЂ™ve played with quite a few. The skins that come with it are very nice but of course you can add to that if you wish.ДЄnother nice feature is that you can add and manage your plugins easily so that you donвЂ™t get stuck with a bad plugin or can change on the fly if so deemed. Not only does it handle big play lists but also has a very good normalizing function so that you donвЂ™t have to be blown out of your seat one second and then putting in your hearing aid to hear the next song. One of the popular players Quintessential took most of the day to build a list. Media Monkey had no problem what so ever with this and built a library list within about a half hour.

I have a MP3/WMA Lossless library of over 300MBвЂ™s and all but 60MBвЂ™s is low quality MP3вЂ™s (ripped at 128 to 192) so there are tens of thousands of songs. Media Monkey rules, most players canвЂ™t handle big libraries and even if they can it takes forever for them to build a library list. I make sure MM uses my SB Audigy soundcard for hardware acceleration and its crystal clear with no stuttering, even on 4500kbps 24bit/192KHz FLACs.

Tip for iPods, etc, you can configure non-compatible formats on the fly but make sure you manually choose stereo (Options> Portable/Audio Devices) as otherwise it will default to the lesser joint-stereo - worth sticking to 320kbps mp3 for connecting to car systems. My existing playlist is currently 6000-songs strong and counting.ДЇYI I use MM Gold. I love listening to my music library (cheap ВЈ500 10TB microserver) on continuous shuffle when Im back from a hard days work, it manages huge libraries effortless and plays music back instantly. If you rip CDs with MM you can use Auto-Tag from web (ALT+L) to automatically name your tracks with covers & information. MM is truly excellent at playing back every file format (mine library is mostly MP4/MP3/FLAC-APE) with support for many addons to increase the already impressive functionality available - its so simple Ive stuck with them for years! For my own CDs I rip using EAC in FLAC format (perfect quality) and manage music using MM.
