 Modifying the MediaMonkey db and ini files
Solution
The MediaMonkey database stores all information in the MediaMonkey library, including
Track Metadata, Synchronization rules, and Filter configuration. Most configuration data
is stored in an .ini file that saves configuration information on a per-user basis (the
exception being some configuration related to Views which is stored in the registry).
These files are stored in different locations depending on the version of MediaMonkey
and the operating system.

To modify any of these files, first make sure that MediaMonkey has been closed. You can
then use the following tools to edit the files:
o .ini files can be edited with a text editor such as Notepad
o .mdb files can be edited (at your own risk) with Access (MediaMonkey 2.x)
o .db files can be viewed with various tools that support SQLite

Here are the default locations of these files:
MediaMonkey 4.x:
o Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\MediaMonkey\MM.DB
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.ini
o Windows 8 / 7 / Vista:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MM.DB
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.ini
o Portable Mode:
In the 'Portable' subdirectory of the location to which MediaMonkey was installed

MediaMonkey 3.x:
o Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\MediaMonkey\MM.DB
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.ini
o Windows 8 / 7 / Vista:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\MediaMonkey\MM.DB
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.ini

MediaMonkey 2.5:
o Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\My Documents\My Music\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.mdb
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\My Documents\My Music\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.ini
o Windows Vista, MediaMonkey 2.5 is not Fully compatible with Vista

NOTE: If you cannot see these files, it likely means that you need to enable viewing of hidden files/folders.
In Windows explorer, go to Tools > Folder options. Select the View tab and check "Show hidden files and folders".
The folders and files listed should now be accessible.
