![]() ![]() It then prompts for the location of your music library: ![]() The initial impression I had at this point was: "It's very brown! Hopefully the looks get a bit better soon!" Anyway: the wizard offers you an option to register, which you can ignore and an option to integrate itself with Windows (an option I left set to its defaults). ![]() When first launched, the program appears near-full screen, but with a 'welcome wizard' to step through: There are a couple of options provided about skinning and so on: I just accepted all the defaults. The usual sort of installation wizard then appears, meaning you click a lot and agree to the software license (which goes on at length, largely because each individual component appears to have a separate copyright notice! It appears fairly innocuous otherwise -though you agree to have any legal disputes in Quebec!). No UK customization is available, which is a shame 27 other, non-English languages are catered for, though. When the setup executable is launched, it first prompts you for a choice of language: unfortunately, there's only one choice of 'English', which is presumably the American version. The download is a relatively svelte 15MB. The 'support for customized collections, eg Classical' sounds interesting, but won't feature in this review -which is strictly of the zero-cost, non-Gold freebie version. The differences between the two editions are made nicely clear on that website: it basically boils down to CD ripping functionality and some rather dubious automatic media management features. Visit the developer's website and you can choose between downloading the 'free' version (in quotes, because it's a proprietary player, so it's free of cost, but not free as in open source) and the 'Gold' version (which will set you back USD $25). MediaMonkey is the only music player in this review that comes in a version that you can pay for. ![]()
