I tried the installation* with MM4 (1415) and it seems to install easier than MM3.
Here is how it works for me:
1. Install wine & winetricks
2. Install wmp9 and ie6 with winetricks: "winetricks wmp9" and "winetricks ie6" (wmp9-installation produced an error; ignore and proceed)
3. Download or copy the MM4-Setup file to some place in your Linux-Installation (Desktop for example). (Installing from a NTFS partition did not work for me)
4. Execute the setup-file with the wine program starter
5. Start MM "MediaMonkey (non-skinned).exe" or "MediaMonkey.exe"**
directly from your "/.wine/drive_c/Programs/MediaMonkey" directory. (starting from the wine menu does not work; at least for me)
6. The "waveOut outputv2.0.2a" as well as "MM Directsound" Output-Plugins works.
What does not work:
- Installing Extensions from mmip-file
- tagging of videos works, but I haven't tried yet to find a way to make MM4 play videos
*on Archlinux
** non-skinned is much more responsive; at least on my old hardware
