Hey everyone,

I recently started exploring CD burning in MediaMonkey 5 and wanted to share a bit of my experience.

So far, the process has been quite smooth — I really like how MM5 handles playlists and burns them straight to disc without too much hassle. One thing I noticed, though, is that sometimes the buffer underrun protection can be a lifesaver if you're multitasking while burning.

I'm curious — do any of you have tips for optimizing the burn quality or preferred settings (like burn speed or disc types) when using MM5?

Looking forward to learning from you all!

Cheers!

Ditto, please add this feature back. All these years paying for "Gold" or "Lifetime" licenses...
I can't believe something so basic and "old school" isn't included in this "Rube Goldberg" version of MediaMonkey.

Please add this feature back (burning MP3 files as data to a CD or DVD). I like to randomize a disk, or copy a book on CD and then transfer it to a CD.
Sure, most folks use all digital, but I have a CD MP3 player in both my car and and house. Having disks is great and makes a permanent copy of my playlists.

Unfortunately CD-Text only supports Album per Disc not per Track.

Burning engine is not the best in MediaMonkey 5. My buds older cd player can't read MM5 burnt discs. So I tried to slow down burn speed, but apparently that option is not available in MM5. Also when writing CD Text, the disc name takes the album name of the first track. That disc name shows up on every track when CD text is shown, for example in a car. My wife pointed that out. Another burner (can I say the name?), I use just reports "Audio Disc". I can slow that software down to 4X speed and burnt disc will work on buds old cd player.

As mentioned above, MediaMonkey 5.0.4 can burn CD's.

CD Burning is absolutely needed in MM5, the workarounds are awful

Someone suggested launching MM4 and dragging MM5 playlists over to it. However music files can be dragged from MM4 to MM5, but not vice versa -- Windows 10 just gives the circular "Can Not Drop Here" icon

Thankfully, the "Burn CD Using MediaMonkey 4" plugin works

Audio CD burning is already in MM5 5.0.4. Alpha.

MediaMonkey 5.0.4+ will have burning capability.

As mentioned prior you can use MediaMonkey 4 to burn and if you have a MediaMonkey 5 License it will work in MediaMonkey 4 too.
