Let me start off by saying that MediaMonkey really meets my needs. It's great. However, as others have noted, I am not liking the fact that certain skins that I came to depend on with Ver. 4 ("Glided" or "Gilded" was what I used), I have lost the ability to use, and it's a sad loss.
However, what I just registered to say here, though, is this:
When I am ripping a CD into my collection, there are certain fields that CAN be tagged and, after the ripping of that CD, they "stick." These fields that survive the rip are: Title; Artist(s); Album; Album Artist; Genre(s); and Date. However, the other fields, when they are completed prior to the rip, do NOT "stick" - after the rip these OTHER fields, even if something is entered into the field, are found to be empty after the rip. They don't survive the rip. These fields that won't "stick" are: Composer; Conductor; and Original Date.
I add a lot of classical music from CDs into my digital music collection, and it would be good if the fields Composer; Conductor; and Original Date could be entered prior to the rip and actually survive the rip and not end up blank.
Another problem that I am having is that when I select all tracks and then update that Artist(s) field, when I hit "OK" not all tracks are successfully updated as expected but instead one or more tracks fail to update and, for those tracks that fail to update, I have to repeat the process and it usually succeeds the second time around. This is something that never happened with Ver. 4.
I have been frequently hoping for an update with the expectation that some of these bugs will go away, but there has not been an update since I installed Ver. 5. Therefore, I decided it was time to visit here and put something into writing.
