| ==Configuration== | | ==Problems with MediaMonkey== |
| The installation-default configuration may not be as you want it. Consider the following adjustments:
| | [[User:Chrisjj\MediaMonkey]] |
| *Switch to a more Windows-standard (and less colourful) program appearence
| |
| **At Tools | Options | Skins, set ''[X] Override Skin theme with Windows System theme (requires restart)''
| |
| *Disable the crossfade that occurs on switching tracks
| |
| **Click Tools | Options | Output plug-ins, select MediaMonkey DirectSound output, click Configure, uncheck ''Crossfade tracks''
| |
| *Disable the end-of-track silence removal that causes playback's track transition to lose gaps
| |
| **Click Tools | Options | Output plug-ins, select MediaMonkey DirectSound output, click Configure, uncheck ''Remove silence at the beginning / end of track''
| |
| ***Note: This won't restore gaps if none exist in the track files e.g. if your track files are trimmed of terminal silence
| |
| *Disable the fade-in/out that misleads and slows play operations
| |
| **Click Tools | Options | Output plug-ins, select MediaMonkey DirectSound output, click Configure, uncheck ''Smooth pause'', ''Smooth seek'' and ''Smooth stop''.
| |
| *Change the Windows Regional and Language Settings Date to international standard yyyy-mm-dd - MediaMonkey does respect this setting for its own date display (except for [http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=151037#151037) this].
| |
| * Disable the storage of non-ASCII characters in WAV files that causes garbage appearence in e.g. WinAmp, GoldWave, Windows Media Player
| |
| ** Follow [http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=111 this] workaround - note arciale is not otherwise factually correct.
| |
| * Change Date information storage in MP3 files to the legal format such that it displays in compliant programs such as WinAmp (may cause incompatibility with iTunes)
| |
| ** Follow [http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=62 this]
| |
| * Change the quick search to search only Title, Artist, Album, Album Artist and Genre (not e.g. lyrics)
| |
| ** Follow [http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=126620#p126620 this]
