MediaMonkey Development Interfaces

Developing Script-based Functionality with MediaMonkey

MediaMonkey is highly extensible via script-based access to a broad range of functionality. Using this interface you can access almost any aspect of MediaMonkey's organizational capabilities via an external application (or script) that can be fully integrated with MediaMonkey.

Examples of some applications that have been written are Web front end to MediaMonkey, ability to Play tracks in a 'Two for Tuesday' fashion, Automatic correction of tag grammar, and others.

MediaMonkey includes broad range of functionality along with the capability to better integrate that functionality, allowing you to:

Create menu items, toolbar items, tray icon menu items & shortcuts

Create new dialogs with controls to edit lines, buttons, drop downs, etc.

Create any new hierarchy of tree nodes

It is now possible to integrate all kinds of interesting functionality into MediaMonkey. e.g.: Alarm Clock that plays MediaMonkey AutoPlaylists, MusicBrainz-based tagging, Radio Station programming, etc.

Developing to the Winamp API

MediaMonkey also supports the majority of the Winamp 2 API, enabling Winamp Input Plug-ins, Output Plug-ins, General Plug-ins, DSP-effec Plug-ins, and Visualization Plug-ins to be used with MediaMonkey (Winamp Language Packs and Media Library plug-ins are not supported). More information is available at:

Winamp Plug-ins Development Page

Developing MediaMonkey Skins and Icons

MediaMonkey's look and feel is also highly customizable. Almost all aspects of the product can be modified, including icons, the player skin, backgrounds, and the theme. More inforamation is available at
