			== Update 3rd January 2016 by squishysdomain ==

			I just installed version 4.1.10 of Mediamonkey using PlayOnLinux 4.2.9 for Wine. I have 2 days experience of Linux so I have to
			say it is quite easy, though it took a few hours of experimentation to understand how PlayOnLinux worked. Finally I got all the
			right options installed based on the information below. Wine and PlayOnLinux came with my disti (Zoran 10) so don't ask me how to
			install them.

			To install, this is what I did:
			* Download MediaMonkey onto your target machine
			* Open PlayOnLinux and select '''install a program''', choose '''install a non listed program'''
			* When you get to the manual installation screen tick the box '''install some libraries'''
			* Choose all of the libraries mentioned below in this post
			* Also choose wmp10 to get the codecs
			* Once all of the libraries are installed, point PlayOnLinux to the MediaMonkey executable and install it
			* Do not enable skin override (this did not work for me) and untick the box to launch MediaMonkey now
			* You may need to configure wine to create a virtual drive containing your music, for me this was automatic
			* you are done - run MediaMonkey from within PlayOnLinux

			IE6 can be installed via winetricks as well and this does benefit MediaMonkey functionality such as the track listing window section. It is up to the individual to verify legality of such an installation.

			==Quick Start==

			Before looking at the brief script below please read these notes about a couple of the lines:
			*Within the MediaMonkey installer I accepted all defaults except on the last page I did not have the installer start MediaMonkey
			*Download the [http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/mad-plugin/ MAD Plug-in for Winamp]
			*Within the MAD plugin installer instead of installing to the Winamp folder I installed to C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey

			sudo apt-get install wine
			mkdir -p ~/.wine/WineTricks
			cd ~/.wine/WineTricks
			wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
			mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts
			sh winetricks corefonts vcrun6 gecko vb6run wsh56
			sudo apt-get install winbind
			wine /path/to/mediaMonkeyInstaller.exe
			wine /path/to/madPluginInstaller.exe

			The detailed instructions below seem to cause problems for me with both MP3 and FLAC playback (while Ogg still worked). This setup has been tested to be partially functional on:

			*Kubuntu Maverick 10.10
			*Wine 1.2.1
			*MediaMonkey 3.2.4.1304

			I plan to update this as I test and fix more aspects than simple playback.
