A three page step-by-step tutorial on how to use media monkey?
Sounds swell, is there any chance we could get that info here? (Maybe a kind soul could scan the article?)

I love MM and have figured it out pretty much just by toying around with it.
However, several of my friends that I'm trying to get hooked on complain about the lack of a real step-by-step tutorial.
Of course I refer them to the online help and this forum but they still think that for a beginner, MM is extremely confusing.

An example workflow - step by step from ripping a CD to having a fully tagged file, written for absolute newbies, would be really helpful.

The Special Summer 2006 Issue
Digital Media How-To Guide features a big article starting on pages 22-25, titled Organize Your Digital Music detailing step by step the process of organizing your media collection, using Media Monkey, as well as telling people to go ahead and drop the money for a full license!

and the include a copy of MM on the disk

It is under the "do it yourself guide" (pg. 13) in the bottom left corner.

ORGANISE YOUR MP3S
If your music collection is anything like ours, it's a mess. If you want to clean up the tags on those old tracks, Media Monkey (www.mediamonkey.com) is the perfect utility.
It's super simple. First make a backup of your MP3 collection in case of disaster. Then import the collection you want fixed into Media Monkey. Then go to Tools, and Auto-Tag from Amazon to automatically fix all your track tags.
