Editor's Review

Unlike other media management software, MediaMonkey Gold 3 is specifically designed for users with thousands of media files that need to be organized and stored properly. Having access to thousands of songs is relatively meaningless if one cannot access what they want to listen to instantly. MediaMonkey Gold 3 lets users organize, manage, edit, share, network, and synchronize their audio files with their favorite playback devices.

Once the software has been configured, the user simply needs to click the mouse once to transfer all of their media library information (including album art, song ratings, playlists, and even playback history) to their favorite portable device including iPods, iPhones, Zens, and any other modern audio playback device. The volume leveling feature even lets users playback their audio files at a consistent level on their device. Users can also choose to record their audio files directly to CD for playback in a standard CD player.

MediaMonkey Gold 3 allows for supreme audio file organization by letting the user assign tags and other information to audio files that makes finding the right file easy. The user simply needs to input the proper information during file importation, and from that moment on they can organize and find their files instantly based on their custom criteria. The software also automatically organizes files based on genre and file name.

To add to the diverse functionality of the software the developers have added the ability to convert any audio file into any output format. This means that users are no longer limited by the playback devices they own. Instead they can play any audio file on any device simply by converting their files into the proper format within a singular powerful interface.

The software helps with the organization of files by searching for information on the internet regarding a particular file or CD. This information is then automatically applied to the audio library to maximize convenience for the user. The software has the ability to recognize broken MP3 files and notify the user of a solution, which can be executed within the software itself.

The drag-and-drop style of the software make it easy to adjust and configure the organization of a seemingly unlimited amount of files quickly and easily. The user can even create custom fields which can be used to further sort files into the proper categories for easy retrieval and playback. Any serious music collector that is tired of dealing with a scattered an unmanageable library of files should consider MediaMonkey Gold 3 as a viable solution to their problems.
