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
- plug-ins that change audio properties
To install most addons other than plug-ins:
- Download an addon from the MediaMonkey Addons site.
- On Windows Vista or Windows 7 select the MediaMonkey icon and 'Run as administrator' (this is required to properly install addons).
- Double-click the downloaded .MMIP file to install the extension.
- 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).
Updating Addons
If the Addon uses the option to have MediaMonkey manage updates use Find Updates to check if any Addons have updates.
If the Addon provides updates through new Addon installers, download and install the update like any Addon installation.
Uninstalling Addons
Under Tools > Addons from the Main Menu you can view which Addons are installed. Use the delete icon for an Addon you want to uninstall.
Certain Addons are part of the core functionality of MediaMonkey and can't be removed. These Addons will not show the delete icon.
