About this app

Have you ever found yourself a couple of feet away from your computer, tired of the currently playing song, but too lazy to actually get up and change it? Fear not, with the MMRemote, this is history!

NOTES:
- Needs the server application on your computer, read more below or here: https://mmremote.net
- This is for MediaMonkey 4 (four). The app for MediaMonkey 5 can be found by searching the store for MMRemote5.
- I am just a single hobby developer, and have no affiliation with the MediaMonkey team.

This is a remote client for the media player MediaMonkey 4 for Windows. In order to use this app, you obviously need MediaMonkey 4 itself, but you also need the MMRemote4 server installed on your computer. This is a free Windows application that can be downloaded from https://mmremote.net.

Known issues:
- Can't control system volume on Windows XP machines (MediaMonkey volume can still be controlled, though).
- Some Windows 7 computers have problems with browsing the library from the remote.
- People with huge playlists should deactivate "Send album arts" in the server to reduce memory usage. Working on a fix.

Ratings and reviews

Used it for awhile before deciding to donate. I highly recommend getting the bonus features. I found several very useful, like the ability to shut down my computer. Had a few connection problems when first started using it but figured out my problem. Server IP would sometimes change on my computer so just went into server list and connected to the one it found. Just try it and play with it a bit. Next onto another remote that controls more programs. Hope they work as well. Keeps crashing.

Love it, but a little glitchy. The free version does what I want and need it to do and it works great most of the time, but unfortunately it loses sync almost every time I use it. Sample: I'll adjust the volume, then try to readjust and get an error message the app can't find the server. I am a big fan of Media Monkey, and hope this clears up.

AWESOME! I'm stoked about this app. It is so cool to be able to access ALL of my music on my computer from my phone! Set up was easy and it works flawlessly. You can even make it so volume decreases automatically when you get a phone call and then goes back once you hang up. Best part is it's free! Thank you so much!!!
