they test what can be considered stable versions of the programs most the time its 2 versions back that are considered stable and work on 98% of the op systems in use at the time of the reviews.

doing that is the only fair way of making a good review.

It does say that they tested v 3.2. It doesn't say why they tested an old version, though.

EDIT: They also tested an old version of ZenPoint Music Center. No doubt the other software is also older versions.

Heh, but it speaks volumes that they still ranked #1 even though the reviewers obviously only managed to scratch the surface of MM's abilities (or used an old version to test?)

Or maybe they compiled the feature table using data from the "Comparison of media players" (or something) page on Wikipedia? I noticed that that one was also quite out of date and incomplete, but I didn't have the time or motivation to update it.

It would also appear that MM hasn't got video capabilities or be able play back wav or wmv files either
I must have downloaded MM5 by mistake

MediaMonkey HAS a user forum. What a nerve!
And why should we not be able to search for 'Year', 'Keyword' or 'Genre'. Missing Lyrics-Support? Strange, I believe this was not a really well-researched comparison.

It has just come to my attention that MM has been rated as Number 1 player of the Year 2012 (sponsored or not) at:

So.... Use the software with additional confidence !!!
