It has been discovered that having the MediaMonkey File Monitor ON is causing MediaMonkey to take 10+ minutes to start with MonkeyTunes. You can read more about the problem here and make sure to turn File Monitor OFF if you get this error.

I'm sorry to say that ever since intalling MonkeyTunes, I've had the 5-15 minutes hang when MM starts, and I had the File Monitor startup scan set to OFF... :-?

Tried installing the plugin for mediamonkey. Then I get this error:
Bonjour is required by the application and it was not found. A browswer will be opened to a download page. Please install Bonjour For Windows.
Do I really have to install Bonjour, or is there something wrong?

Absolutely. Bonjour is a 100% requirement of the DACP protocol and Apple Remote and Droid TunesRemote. It is how it does Remote discovery and the pairing process.

I would get around it if I could but it is absolutely vital for how Apple Remote/Itunes/DACP works.

Thank you for your fast response. That is great! I installed Bonjour now and no errors. Perfect! Today I expect my HTC. Eager to use MonkeyTunes :)

Maybe you should write in the documentation that people will be asked to install Bonjour. It now looked like an error to me. Without Bonjour MM was not working any longer.

IMonkeyTunes is trialware? On your website nothing says it is...

I display that as an error because i would say 80% of people using MonkeyTunes already have iTunes installed for their iPhone which means they have Bonjour on their machine already. I will add it to the requirements section of our website/documentation though, good point.

Yes it's trialware. I will also add that to the website text! Thanks for pointing that out.
