Here's a simple script (the first vbs that I made) that adds hotkeys to MediaMonkey so you can let it play songs based on Genre, Playlist, Mood, ... very easily.
You can download it from http://home.tiscali.be/ruben.castelein/ ... s_v1.0.vbs
Just put it in the MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto folder and (re)start MM.
Code: Select all
