[bougie]

I'm still a beginner. how to use MM in linux. using wine, I'm still worried about using the database (install database).

Please make a native MediaMonkey application for Linux.

Recently I installed the program Musescore as AppImage in Linux Mint. Could it be that it is also easier for you MediaMonkey developers to offer MM as AppImage? I imagine that it needs less code adjustments than a standard installation.

I'm afraid your imagination is deceiving you.
AppImages are pure Linux programs designed to make things easier for the USER. All dependencies are packaged there, so that the programs (should) run on any distribution without installation from a dedicated package source.
That would be a second step, after compiling the highly anticipated linux build.

I second this (and have been doing so for years). MM is the best music manager but Windows is spyware for big-tech, AI, and the government. No version of Windows is safe. I've gone 100% linux now but I'm screwed with respect to MM. I found a guide here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index. ... y_.2B_Wine
It's ridiculously complex and probably horribly outdated.

Surely the MM developers can create a profile for Bottles where all the settings are defined for the customer and the user just needs to run the installer? FYI, Bottles is a user friendlier GUI for Wine. This is a great time to get away from the Windows sinking ship. With Co-Pilot, Windows has turned into the enemy of privacy because it allows absolute government/corporate surveillance. Now they're regressing their words saying that co-pilot will be local to the machine but remember that Windows already has deep Telemetry hooks everywhere and Micro$oft *will* lie, they will use technicalities to effect their surveillance objectives. So, there's no better time to switch to Linux and to get MM running in Linux. Linux Mint is the easiest distro for most people .
