1. Introduction

MediaMonkey is an easy-to-use media organizer for serious collectors. It catalogs
music files (MP3s, WMAs, OGG, AAC/M4A, MPC, APE, FLAC, VQF, WAV files) and audio CDs, as well as video files (AVI, MP4, MOV, WMV, MKV) and helps you:

   - Organise your media and help you find the files you're looking for
   - Tag tracks in your library (automatically) in a variety of formats (ID3v1&v2, OGG, WMA/WMV, APE2, RIFF, MP4)
   - Play audio and videos, level volume, and display funky visualizations
   - Sync files with your portable devices and phones
   - Share media with your other A/V devices over DLNA/UPnP
   - Record CDs into OGG, MP3, and WMA files
   - Convert audio and video formats
   - Create playlists and music mixes quickly (manually or automatically) to suit any occasion
   + Much, much more...

3. Installation

a) Double-click the file you downloaded, and follow the on-screen instructions.

b) If no sound is heard when you try to play a track, you may want to try switching output plug-ins.

c) 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   be due to outdated Windows Media Drivers.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:
