Adding Plug-ins

MediaMonkey supports a variety of Winamp 2-compatible plugins that change audio characteristics and visualizations, or extend functionality. Input plug-ins generally add support for new audio formats, while Output plug-ins control how MediaMonkey outputs audio. DSP plug-ins usually enhance and/or modify the audio in some way, while General plug-ins often add some entirely new functionality to the application. Visualization plugins enable the display of psychedelic effects as the music plays.

To configure Plug-ins, click Tools > Options > Player and one of the plug-ins options, or simply right-click on the player and click Configure Current input plug-in or Configure Current output plug-in.

If you've downloaded additional plug-ins, you can download them by following either of the following procedures:

• If the plug-in is provided with an installer, the installer often chooses a default directory of /Program Files/Winamp. Change this to /Program Files/MediaMonkey. If you're unable to change the installation directory, you'll have to install to the Winamp directory and then manually copy the installed .dll file(s) to the Program Files/MediaMonkey/Plug-ins directory.
• If the plug-in is a .dll, simply copy the .dll to the Program Files/MediaMonkey/Plugins directory, and follow the instructions provided with the plug-in.

Once the plug-in is installed, you can access it from the relevant plug-ins pane and press the Configure button. For DSP Audio Effect plug-ins, you can also set the order in which the plugins process the audio.
