MediaMonkey provides several means of managing a library across multiple

machines.

 1. You can store music on a server, and manage the collection via machines

    connecting to the server, each containing their own database, using the

    File Monitor function to keep the local database in synch with the

    server content.  This is very simply to setup, however, the only

    downside is that it should only be used if you are only using metadata

    that is saved to track tags (search the online help for 'About Track

    Properties' to learn more).

    1. Use File | Add/Rescan tracks to the library to add tracks from a network 

       location

    2. Set up the File Monitor to monitor changes to the network location

 3. You can store music on a server, and share a database among all the 

    machines connecting to the server. See: 

    http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=49

 4. You can use the Device Synchronization function to synch tracks temporarily

    to portable devices. iPods and Plays for sure devices will update the

    database with any changes to Play History or Ratings. See the online

    help.

 5. You can use the Device Synchronization function to temporarily synch 

    tracks from a server to a machine. Any changes to the tracks on the 

    machine can be set to trigger synchronization of the track back to the 

    original server.

    1. Map a directory on your local drive to a drive letter. This can be done 

       by going to the command prompt (Run > CMD) and typing 

       SUBST S: [C:/Path on drive to map to S:]

    2. Set up a new Generic Portable / Audio Device in MediaMonkey

       that points to the newly created S: drive, preferably with

       bidirectional synchronization, and then Auto-Synchronize tracks to that

       new device.

 6. If you're using a local database (see item 1 at the top), You can use the 

    Virtual CD function to temporarily store tracks from the server to the 

    remote machine, and update track properties as you listen to them.
