Adding MediaMonkey + Wine
After installing Wine, MediaMonkey can be installed without any problems. If you run MM now, you will have lots of trouble. MediaMonkey needs some libraries to run. Please use winetricks http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks to install gecko, vb6run, vc6run, wmp10. More packages might be necessary, or maybe theses packages are creating problems. A Linux package is also needed. It is called winbind and provides ntlm_auth. In Ubuntu you can use Applications/System/Synaptyc Package Manager. Wine needs a little bit of configuration before running. Go to Applications/Wine/Configuration. In the drive pane select Autodetect. In the audio pane, select whatever creates some sound to you.
