I just received a new laptop from work and want to install MM on it.
LinkedTracks is THE most important feature within MM for me, as it allows me to listen to the many many mix CDs that I have in my collection in the correct order. Also Pink Floyd albums play as intended (no one wants to listen to a song on The Wall out of order with the rest of the album) and it also works great for intro songs of albums that flow into the second song. Linked Tracks are essential.
So after many many years I had a look at this thread and, as I expected, Linked Tracks doesn't work on any MM version higher than MM4, so I will simply just install MM4 on my laptop again.

I don't think Steegy has been around for years.

MediaMonkey 5 is a full rewrite and it ditched the old Windows only VBScript and instead went with modern cross-platform methods. This unfortunately does mean that MediaMonkey 4 and older Addons don't work, but will allow MediaMonkey 5 Addons to work on other platforms than Windows in the future.

I have sent Steegy a PM and am hoping for a response.
I kind of doubt it though...I sent a PM about this last year in December and never got a response.

How hard is it to script something like this?
I have very little scripting knowledge but I am wondering if a beginner could do something like this and make it workable.
Thoughts?

Another question is:
What changed in MM5 that would have caused this existing script to no longer work?

Hi,
Ahh, in that case then this plugin needs to be rewritten to support MM5.

I think you're misunderstanding what I meant.
That's my fault for not being very clear.

What I am talking about is the ability to Link Tracks.
The old LinkedTracks add-on in MM4 allowed me to "Link" songs together.

For example:
I have a Random Auto Playlist with several thousand songs in it.
Say my playlist started playing Journey's "Feeling That Way" off their Infinity album.
After that song finished, it would play "Anytime" off the same album next because those two songs were Linked.
It wouldn't matter what was actually next up in the playlist.
It would play that linked song next and then go back to parsing the playlist normally.

Conversely, if it started playing "Anytime" first, it would just skip that song and continue parsing the playlist normally since that song was linked second.

It's indispensable as far as I'm concerned and I can only imagine how helpful it is to listeners of Classical music.

Hi,
For now MM5 support syncing playlist with Spotify and Deezer and we are working on sync with paid accounts.

Roon and JRMC (jRiver Media Center) are proprietary services and specific plugin needs to be made for MM.

Re JRMC API I can find https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/DevZone whick refers to JRMC remote control eg. pay for JRMC and third party needs to just control it not replace it and for ROON I only see https://github.com/RoonLabs/node-roon-api and from what I see no development past 2 years https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-api-update/216639 also that is more for MMS than MM5 as it is based on Node.JS like MMS.

I wish you luck finding app and if you do please let us know I am really curious how it was solved legally by some other developer.

Has anyone found a way to get this working in MM5?
If not, does anyone know of other software that has this type of functionality built in?
Roon?
JRMC?
Others?
I hate to move to another application but if that is the only way to get this type of functionality, I guess I will have to do it.

Looks like the ability to link tracks has not been migrated to VERSION 5. I have been using MusicMonkey versions for many years now and found it was the only software to handle playing linked tracks due to extension feature using addons. This is indispensable for playing classical music correctly. My library has been tagged for many years now. Is this feature going to be migrated to VERSION 5? Please, please...

I downloaded and installed LinkedTracks111.mmip. I select 2 consecutive tracks to be linked. Only the first track gets played. I checked custom field 5 for both tracks and the link to the first track appears in the link for both tracks. I'm running MM 4/1/27/1897 on Window 10.0.19401.

MM4 Reference Addon: viewtopic.php?p=38260

It would be helpful to be able to link 2 or more tracks together so they can be treated as a single track; e.g., the parts of a symphony could be played as a single track. Another example is when a piece has 2 parts, an introduction and the musical part. The album 'Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions' contains 34 tracks for 17 songs, each with an introduction and the song itself.

Hi,
MM5 for example also support Initial Key in Library

@bigcebo:
MM is not very suitable to DJ with. There are plenty of softwares better suited for DJing (VirtualDJ, Serato DJ, Traktor, Mixxvibes Cross, etc, etc) that will help you suggest tracks based on musical key, bpm and other criteria.

Well this thread is old...but i trying to use this plugin to link songs. I dj so I use it to place reminders like these songs have same beats, but its not working. I have songs in different folders so the only way to have certain songs visible at same time is in the now playing pane, but Link tracks isnt an option in the now playing pane. Is there way to get it to work the way i need.

thank you, thats what I thought. i use the ipod classic in the car and looks like I will have to use audacity or the like to join them
