The option to scan for new media files at startup is selected by default you can choose to scan for files continuously. MediaMonkey prompts you to choose the folders to scan as the program discovers the media files stored on your computer.
The current user's Music folder is selected by default. Next, MediaMonkey prompts you to select which locations on your computer you want it to scan to discover your media. If you change your defaults, iTunes will prompt you to change them back to that program the next time it opens. The first time you run MediaMonkey, the program prompts you to register (optional) and to make the program the default for playing various media file types (deselect some or all of the preselected types to retain your current default player). (An alternative to iTunes for transferring media from a Windows PC to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod is the free CopyTrans Manager.)Īll your media-file information at a glance Ecoute's page on indicates that the program costs $8 after a 15-day free trial, but the PixiApps site's FAQ states that the Mac version is free due to "sandboxing issues for the Mac App Store." The iOS version of Ecoute costs $2.99. I looked at two very different iTunes replacements: the free MediaMonkey for Windows (also available are $25 and $50 Gold versions) and PixiApps' Ecoute for Mac OS X and iOS.
I was struck by the disparity on 's iTunes page between the program's five-star rating by CNET Editors and its two-and-a-half-star rating by users. Using iTunes simply to listen to some music is like renting a backhoe to plant some tomatoes in the backyard.
