Basic Concepts

The Main MediaMonkey is split into panels and the panels can be configured to show different windows. The panels available are:

  • Top Panel, which displays on top of all panels using the full width, disabled by default, this panel only supports wide windows
  • Left Panel, which by default displays the Media Tree window
  • Right Panel, which by default display the Playing, Preview and Lyrics windows
  • Main Panel (Bottom) which displays at the bottom of the Main Panel (Filelisting) at the same width, this panel only supports wide windows
  • Bottom Panel, which displays on bottom of all panels using the full width, which by default displays the Player, this panel only supports wide windows

The windows that can be put in these panels are:

  • Media Tree, a wide window
  • Playing
  • Preview, a window showing details about the playing or selected file or the visualization
  • Lyrics, a window showing Lyrics for the playing file

The Main Panel is non-configurable and displays the Filelisting. The Filelisting can be configured to show additional windows like the Column Filter, Tree (Folders), List (Folders), Grid (Folders) and Statusbar depending on what content is displayed in the Filelisting.

The Left and Right panel can be quickly hidden/shown using their respective button for this above the panels in the Toolbar.
