No, MediaMonkey can't be set to scan PDF files into the Library.

Using MediaMonkey to catalog sheet music PDFs?

by jkeen007 » Mon Mar 16, 2026 7:46 pm

I have a large collection of sheet music stored as PDF files. My ideal setup would be to organize them using MediaMonkey in a way similar to how it organizes music (composer, collection, movement, etc.), even if MediaMonkey cannot actually open the PDFs.

Is there a way to get MediaMonkey to index PDF files in the library database, similar to how it handles audio files?

For example:

Can .pdf be safely added to the list of scanned file extensions?
Can it organize a dedicated folder with just these pdfs.
Would this cause issues with the MediaMonkey database or metadata fields?
Is there an existing addon or script that allows MediaMonkey to catalog non-media files like sheet music?

My goal is simply to use MediaMonkey as an organizer for the PDFs, not to play them.

Has anyone successfully done something like this?
