Good Results for MM

I did a quick google search on music manager and MM was the 3rd one down the list

! No sight of iTunes in the first 5 pages... or any other well known music managers. Good work Mediamonkey!

Because it's the best way to manage my music.

I voted for scripts, but I feel bad about this in a way. The main reason I like MM is that it is so powerful and fast, and provides pretty much everything I need. But I do love this fact that I can create more custom workflows by writing my own scripts, which allows MM to continue being streamlined and not bloat with everyone's own idea of a good feature.

I agree with the above that it's more about the ability to manage my collection than anything else. For a large music collection, I've found MM is in a league of it's own due to it's speed, compatibility and script customisation. Sure, there's more that I'd like to see (bring on v3!) but I'm happy with my choice so far.

Obviously I also use MM for general playback, but typically use N.I.'s Traktor for parties or other events. (Traktor, though, is far inferior in terms of compatibility and organisational tools hence my need for MM.)

I wonder why nobody is voting for the look? That might prove something.

Well, I do like the look, but that's because I like a database type of layout.
Of course I would like to be able to skin more easily than the current skinning engine allows, but like others have said, for me it's the total package.
The ability to organise my music collection and present in a way I find appealing.
I also like the scripting ability of MM

So, I suppose my vote is "good all round player, though thats not exactly what I think either.

I didn't choose MediaMonkey on looks, actually I choose no software on looks. I choose them on functionality, what they can do for me. If you talk about looks I would only consider MM and WMP as the rest really looks bad.
I also converted to MM before the current look and I actually like the look (blue skin not the new iTunes ripoff skin).
I myself came for DJ2000 which was really bad in comparison with MM. MM got me on it's management qualities as I mentioned above.

I feel the same as Trixmoto

and

I wonder what blakeloth1 means with "The compatibility".

None of the above.

I like it for it's management ability. Easy to fix the tags. I also like how it can handle large libraries. 65k songs and MM chugs along.

By that I mean the types of songs it can play and also that it can use Winamp
plugins/skins

I know this was a major factor for me staying with MM all this time. Testing other software with even 20k tracks showed serious slowdowns. Has anyone tested large libraries with the new WMP 11 Beta 2? (I found Beta 1 was still slow, but I'm wondering if any improvements were made with the later release.)

As far as the "look" - MM's GUI does seem designed more for functionality than (eg) the eye-candy look of WMP 11, or the glossy simplicitude of iTunes. This is not to say MM doesn't look good (I like the blue skin) just not as pretty as some.

I like it because it's a DATABASE first and foremost. I can do any type of manipulation I like by simply dumping a table out to dBase, using dBase tools to rearrange data, and then host it back to MDB. Then I sync the database changes into the MP3's.

Good Results for MM
