Would you also be willing to pay for such a version?
If I were me, I would be willing to pay a price of up to $30 for it. And now it's your turn, I'm looking forward to your comments.

I saw several people, both here and on social medias, report that they weren't able to get MM working, whatever they tried, so I'm just pushing back for as long as I can, since there's no realistic way to either make MM work or find a decent replacement.

I know that I'm just a sample size of one, but I have MediaMonkey running at nearly 100% functionality on Manjaro Linux. So I can tell you that it is possible.

Delphi Linux compiler and some libraries are not is not yet fully stable on Linux, but they are getting close, but I doubt it will be till Win10 extended support ends. Also I really wonder why updates do not work on normal version, but still work when you pay for extended support and no system files have been changed.

I have installed Clementine as a tentative replacement, but it doesn't come any close to the level of functionality MM offers, not by a mile, and the other audio managers I've tried are even worse.

If you ahve issues with playback try switching Output plugin to WAVE OUT and see if that fixes your problem.

Menus show icons, but no text. I am able to get into Options, where I can see text. I've tried all the different skins, along with disabling hardware acceleration. Using Ubuntu 25.10 and Wine 11.
Has anyone seen this behavior?

If you identify such tracks please supply us with download Link in support ticket.

Can you make screenshot and attach to your reply heer?

I apparently don't have permissions to post images or links, so here is the URL to the screen shot.
