MediaMonkey offers Auto-Conversion when synchronizing and when streaming/casting to other devices. Auto-Conversion will not modify the original files in your MediaMonkey Library. This allows you to maintain a library of many file types on your PC while still being able to sync/stream/cast those files in formats the device is able to play.

Auto-Conversion allows you to:

  • Sync and stream/cast any file in your MediaMonkey Library for any device by auto-converting it to a format supported by that device on-the-fly
  • Convert files on-the-fly to lower bitrates to make more effective use of the limited storage capacity on a portable device when synchronizing or slower network connection when streaming/casting
  • Level the volume of synced or streamed/cast files so that they play at a steady volume on any device (useful for devices that don't support Replay Gain).


Whenever the device is synced or streamed/cast, any files that match a set of auto-conversion rules specified by the user are converted on-the-fly. If volume leveling is enabled, then:

  • All tracks that are converted are leveled during the conversion process
  • MP3 tracks are leveled using MP3 Gain style leveling (i.e. no loss in audio fidelity)
  • For other tracks that don't need to be converted because they are in a format supported by the device, they are transcoded and leveled as follows:
    • WMA --> WMA 128 kbps CBR
    • OGG --> OGG Q4
    • Other formats are encoded to the encoder defaults for the given format
  • For other tracks that are in a format that isn't supported by the device, they are transcoded and leveled to MP3 128 kbps CBR

Note that any of these defaults can be overridden simply by adding a new conversion rule.
