So after switching from Apple to Android, it has taken some time getting used to different features and what not. MediaMonkey made it very easy to transition from iTunes. But I run half my applications in Windows and half in *nix. I am looking at a full transition but I am unable to do so. Some progress on Linux would be great, MediaMonkey + Arch would be perfect! I will then be happy to pay for a Life Time license and also purchase the Android app if you end up charging for that.

There is nothing wrong with Win7 .. but Win8 .. i'll give you that.

Linux support would be a good thing.

please linux support

MediaMonkey for Android has basic tag support and no conversion support.

Didn't have a chance to try it yet, but for me the same basic features, conversion capabilities and tag management would be enough.

I would highly doubt that as the App is not the same as the whole Application.

And, with an Android version actually in development, I think it's now relatively easy to port MM on Linux too. Any feedback on this?

Would definitely use MM on Ubuntu!

I definitely would use mediamonkey on ubuntu. I've been using Linux Mint now for about 6 months after being a longtime Windows user, including NT, Windows 2000, & Windows 7, (all running on multiple boxes) and linux appears to be a superior operating system. The developers of Linux distros just seem to be more focused on creating a more feature rich, customizable, and secure operating system while Microsoft appears to be almost solely focused on preventing piracy (making full drive backups incredibly difficult) and planning operating system obsolescense to keep us all on the merry-go-round of buying new software. Linux is considerably faster running on same hardware, you can easily try 32 or 64 bit versions & multiple distributions to see what works best for you, much easier to do routine backups, much easier to customize, easier to install & update new software applications, & plenty of available software (any home user who doesn't play many windows games will have all the software they need). Linux has reached a level of maturity that is going to mean lots of people switching who have cultivated the same dislike of Microsoft as I have. ...and Linux is so easy to try, burn the iso file to a disk, and boot up your computer from the cd drive, I was just overwhelmed by the simplicity of it. I'm not trying to necessarily sway people to linux here with my comments, only to let the mediamonkey developers know how a new linux user feels about quality of the operating system, and the likelyhood of many more people adopting it.

Looks like they should follow the poll here as over 2000 are for it.

MM and some games are what which are keeping me away from linux. I would love to see some linux support one day, especially now with the steambox in the horizon

It looks like I'm in the minority here (or is it just that Ubuntu people view this post more), but the developers here at Mediamonkey is pretty small, which leaves them with limited programming resources. I'd rather see them focus on fixing bugs and improving the current version on Windows. It seems like right now it takes them some time to release updates and bug fixes (and adding people's wishlists) as it is now. I wouldn't want them distracted by creating a completely new version of Mediamonkey for Linux (or Mac) when there's a lot they could be doing to the Windows version.

I don't want to sound like an a*s, but that's the downside of switching to Linux or Mac's. It's probably why I'll never switch to something different. I've already spent so much money in Windows software (Adobe's Master Collection CS5.5 being one of them). I'm a Mediamonkey Gold owner too.

hi guys!
This is my first post here! I guess anyway.
I've been using MM since the very beguining and I've know Linux for about...13 years or so. I keep always an eye on software that has the potential to be great but trully great, I don't usually miss. I've also been using Google since 1998, also their very beguining.
I now use 100% freeware lifestyle and still do buy goodies, attend events and donate to my beloved softwares.

So whats the point of all this?

MM is great and I will buy gold edition or whatever you guys have as a lifetime guarantee IF and that is non negotiable, just IF you guys make this UBUNTU COMPATIBLE.

Things have come to the point where they are top quality, top reliability and top performance on the freeware world.
As of now! yes, October 2012 Ubuntu, Clementine, Fast Stone (great software migrating to Ubuntu someday I hope), Blender, Gimp and also new arrival, Lightworks (top notch professional video editor), Blender, Gimp and Steam on Linux and so on.......this all exists and its free if not open source.

WHY AREN'T YOU GUYS ON LINUX ALREADY? ANY GOOD REASON?

MM needs a comunity of beta testers and forum people right? So why don't you give people something they really need.

Linux market share is growing and now in not under 5% at any moment. Even Dell and other big name companies sell Linux based systems.
If I don't see progress in this matter within one year I'll be dropping the use of MM on about 10 computers I manage.

i just thought to throw it out there that Clementine can effectively keep up with mm's power in linux ...
I just switched to 12.0 beause ...well finally everything except ole flash player works as it should....
anyway after using banshee, amarok, rhythm box, audacious , guyadeque , picard ....etc never tried exaile
but Clementine once configured scans a large lib quick and then you can set your masks for organize
not so sure if its auto at startup like mm or if u have to select tracks to update maunally but with the
information panels built in lyrics quick search high customization raw power and streamlined good looks
Clementine you can be mine
Just thought to let you all know that you shouldnt fear losing mm as we move to linux

***MM will likely never see Linux (well stabely anyway) and we ahould all abandon that hope and instead see how we might extend all the great sexy power in MM to other players in other platforms ...how did they do what and how can it be incorporated into your favorite player is the real issue ....
