MonkeyTunes

Hi,

Has anyone upgraded from Imonkey to MonkeyTunes for a remote for Media Monkey?

I’m interested in any comments about the process.

Thanks,

I presume you meant iTunes to MediaMonkey

 

There is an iphone/ itouch app but it only allows you to stop/play, next I believe.

 

For full remote control, I have found an inexpensive laptop with VNC or some type of remote desktop control (e.g., WINDOWS REMOTEDESKTOP) to work very well (presumes you have 2 computers, the laptop as a remote and the "server" computer)

 

Another option I have found useful is a computer (such as a laptop) hooked to a video screen in the room. A wireless mouse/keyboard gives you full control and the screen lets you see what you are doing across the room (but requires a TV sized screen to be useful - depends on how far away you are from the screen, etc)

What I’m talking about is a new Plug-in for Media Monkey that lets you use an IPod Touch or Phone for the remote for Media Monkey.

I was just checking if anyone has tried it yet before I take the plunge.

 

Thanks,

Trying it right now.

Working great. The trial edition had some flaws ie. some various artist albums would point to the album index rather then the track list. After purchasing the app it is all working fine.... A milestone in my home stereo scenario!

Monkeytunes is a big step forward from iMonkey. It allows you to browse your whole library, and not just the playlists as before. You can browse by artist, album or do a search. It all seems to work pretty well, except for a problem with artists on compilation albums. They seem to appear as individual artists in the list which is annoying.

 

This post is not talking about iTunes.

Thanks for the props guys!

 

I work hard to make it a great product and I try and work any bugs out as soon as they are reported. Thanks to danhackley for pushing me hard to make MonkeyTunes.

I downloaded the free version, great sonics, I guess it's KS not aiso.

How does Monkeytunes affect the sonics? I thought it only controlled Mediamonkey with no effect on the playback, and with the usual output driver still being used.

danhackley,

 

You are exactly correct. MonkeyTunes does not affect the Sonics at all and has nothing to do with the sound output of MM. It is purely a remote control.
