Welcome
Welcome to the site dedicated to the development of a web version of MediaMonkey in ASP, XHTML, CSS and JavaScript which will allow you to navigate and play your music online. Check out the website of MediaMonkey to find out more about the ultimate music manager. This project will require you to have MediaMonkey as it uses the database created by Mediamonkey.
The goal of this project is to have a similar experience online as in MediaMonkey. This means you can view your files in ways similar to MediaMonkey. You can search your music collection or use the different explorer tree nodes just like MediaMonkey. You can even playback your songs or create playlists. MediaMonkey is not intended to allow editing of files or the library. It's a great way to share your music on an office LAN. WebMonkey has many configuration options so you can fit it to your needs, including skins and languages.
A similar project is available from TheRocket at MediaMonkey Web Edition or from Trixmoto Advanced Report.

The Next WebMonkey (2) (5/27/2008)
As I previously wrote, I had decided to wait for MediaMonkey 3. MediaMonkey 3 has now been out for a while and 2 changes of importance have occurred. The first is that MediaMonkey 3 now uses the SQLite database instead of MS Access. Secondly the database design has changed as well.The change to SQLite is what is prohibiting my progress with the next WebMonkey. I still haven't found a way to connect to SQLite from ASP. Without the ability to connect there is no feasible way to continue development at the moment. Please feel free to PM me on the MediaMonkey forum if you have instructions on how to create this connection.
If I'm able to figure out how to connect to SQLite the question is how easy is this to achieve by other users. Users with their own webserver probably would be able to reproduce the same steps, but those that host their site on a 3rd party server might not be able to get a connection to SQLite. If this is the case the question that rises is if WebMonkey remains a useful project.
If all the connection issues can be sorted out the remaining issue is the change in the database design. I feel that this is big enough to start from scratch. Starting from scratch I want to do a complete different design where you would browse more like a regular webpage instead of a recreation of the MediaMonkey interface as currently the case.
WebMonkey, but I use MediaMonkey 3 (5/27/2008)
For those that switched to MediaMonkey 3, but also would like to continue using WebMonkey, there is the option to install MediaMonkey 2 and 3 side by side. You would use MediaMonkey 3 for playing and managing your music and MediaMonkey 2 for creating the database that WebMonkey uses.Get MediaMonkey 2
