Creating Custom Scripts

Extending MediaMonkey's Functionality

MediaMonkey's functionality can be extended through the use of various addons found at the MediaMonkey Addons site. These include:

• scripts that add a variety of different functions, such as looking up metadata & Album Art, playing music automatically based on last-fm preferences, switching metadata fields, playing random whole albums, etc.
• skins that change the look of MediaMonkey
• translations of MediaMonkey to other languages
• [Player Plugin Configuration.htm plug-ins] that change audio properties

To install most addons other than [Player Plugin Configuration.htm plug-ins]:

1. Download an addon from the MediaMonkey Addons site.
2. On Windows Vista or Windows 7 select the MediaMonkey icon and 'Run as administrator' (this is required to properly install addons).
3. Double-click the downloaded .MMIP file to install the extension.
4. Restart MediaMonkey and the new functionality will be accessible.

Note: Some older scripts may not be packaged as .MMIP files (e.g. Newscript.vbs). For those, copy the script to MediaMonkey's /scripts/auto folder OR save the script to MediaMonkey's /scripts folder and then define the script in MediaMonkey's "\Scripts\Scripts.ini" file (as described in the script's documentation).
