Updating to most current version problem

Post by darkmattress »

This is probably a stupid question, but how do I update Media Monkey? I go to Help, Check for Updates, and a dialog comes up stating that "MediaMonkey 4.1.13.1801 is the current version" (which it most certainly is not). I seem to remember having done this in the past and I messed something up because I just installed the latest version of MediaMonkey over the current. I have the Gold version (purchased many years ago).

Hi,
You can download latest MM4 version from link supplied at https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/kno ... diamonkey/

If your license key starts with INF- then you can install MM5, but as you are using very old version of MM4 I would suggest that you first update to latest MM4 and then install MM5 that will ask you for importing settings and library from MM4.

NOTE: MM5 and MM4 can coexist together as two separate installations so you do not need to uninstall MM4.

Thank you for the link. I guess I'm unclear on the update process itself. I downloaded the most current version and started the install, but it seemed like it didn't know I already had MediaMonkey installed. I want to stick with v4 for now, I just want the most up to date v4. Do I delete the previous instance of MM and fresh install the new or would this make me lose all my settings?

Install it on top of the existing install, no need to uninstall.

Thanks, I was unsure if I would lose something if I did that. Looks like it may have reset some of my display settings in the tree, but nothing too bad.
