Clementine VS MediaMonkey
Comments about Clementine as an Alternative to MediaMonkey
Top Positive CommentTop Negative CommentmichaelolsenWhile it is an excellent audio player, it is NOT a file/content manager. Also it is NOT video capable. Therefore it only provides less than 1/4 the functionality of MediaMonkey. The most powerful and meaningful functions of MediaMonkey are its content management capabilities.
Most Recent CommentOn my Mac (late 2013) Clementine does not easily rip CDs from an external drive. It loses Album Artist information. It does not read .aiff files. I don't know what else it can't do, because those functions are so basic I refuse to dig deeper.
233 Strawberry alternativesStrawberry is a music player and music collection organizer. It is a fork of Clementine released in 2018 aimed at music collectors and audiophiles. The name is inspired by the band Strawbs. It's written in C++ using the Qt framework.

Strawberry VS MediaMonkey
Comments about Strawberry as an Alternative to MediaMonkey
Most Recent CommentmichaelolsenIt suffers from the same lack of content management as Clementine and Amarok. It is purely and audio player. MediaMonkey is a library database manager that happens to also play audio and video files. Strawberry has no database management (i.e., file organizational control).
It's better than Clementine :-)
It continues where Clementine stopped. A developed version of "old" Clementine. If you need a music library software, this is probably the closest to MediaMonkey. Simpler, with less functions but adequate.
A extensible Music player with Podcast support, web radio, playlists and many more. As it is written in Python, writing new plug-ins is really easy.

Harmonoid VS MediaMonkey
Comments about Harmonoid as an Alternative to MediaMonkey
michaelolsenFinally a true library manager! Others simply parrot what you have but do not actually manage content Harmonoid does. It also has a quality integrated player. So it actually parallels MediaMonkey for audio files (I have not tried it on video yet). This is the first true alternative I have seen,
60 Kid3 alternativesIf you want to easily tag multiple MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Speex, TrueAudio, WavPack, WMA, WAV and AIFF files (e.g. full albums) without typing the same information again and again and have control over both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags, then Kid3 is the program you...

Kid3 VS MediaMonkey
Comments about Kid3 as an Alternative to MediaMonkey
MediaMonkey is a media (Audio & Video) player/organizer, Kid3-QT is an Audio TAGGER (not player and limited organizing ability). Great at what it does, but is not an alternative to MediaMonkey

beets VS MediaMonkey
Comments about beets as an Alternative to MediaMonkey
michaelolsenBeets provides all the audio media management capabilities of MediaMonkey, but lacks an integrated player.
One 'drawback' for some is its design to be used from the command line. This can be overcome by opening it from your web browser which then provides an effective graphical interface.
Unlike MediaMonkey, there is no easy 'built-in' method of transferring files to other devices (e.g., your phone or tablet).
On a 10 point scale I would say this is a 6.5 as an alternative.

gmusicbrowser VS MediaMonkey
Is the most complete audio player you can get on linux (at least at the moment), all other audio players aren't as complete as this one is or are based on it and are not as complete as clementine.
