How to load YouTube files in MediaMonkey [#16693]

Post by Hennie de Jager »

I tried to load YouTube links directly into my MediaMonkey library and tried "Manually Adding Individual Media Files", but no success. If there is already an item describing this, please direct me there.
I an a MM Gold user.

You can't add YouTube videos to MediaMonkey (assuming you mean on YouTube itself).

Thank-you Lowlander.

Because most of my music is loaded from used LP's, the sound is sometimes not very good. When it is an item that is outstanding, I found out that YouTube actually has an enormous library of music that is very good on that specific item, so I started copying the YouTube link(s) into any blank field that shows in Properties.

It would have been very helpful if YouTube links could be loaded directly into MediaMonkey library using "Manually Adding Individual Media Files". I was just shouting in the wind...

Hi,
You should try MM5 as there you can create Playlist "YouTube" and add tracks (Drag and Drop) there will be showed in Music -> Location -> YouTube.

Also you can browse any artist using Online Tab an don Right click you will have Add to library option.

I also added new tweak bug https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16693 so that you can drag and drop directly to MM library to add it.
