I don't listen to music on my computer but it seems that MB is about the same as MM. One thing I like about the syncing process is that it tells you what it is doing during the sync, and it does it a logical order (delete unwanted items, copy wanted items that are not on the player, and load/update playlists). Even when loading an entire 128gb memory card it only takes about an hour, which is much faster than with MM. MB was a massive improvement over MM when it comes to syncing my player. I checked around the Internet and found only good comments about the program, so I downloaded and installed it. In the quest for something that might work better I decided to give MusicBee a try.

Basically, it took far too long (as in several hours) to sync my player with MM and it would sometimes lock up. If you want, you can select individual songs and the are shuffled as if they are the entire album.Click to expand.I just started using MusicBee (MB) due to an issue with my Sony Walkman NW-A45 and MediaMonkey (MM). Plus shuffle prevents repeats until the entire playlist is done. Also many artists have one song flow into another and breaking them up by using random on a song basis really breaks the music. The next is _Lazing_On_a_Sunday_Afternoon, which is a very lighthearted amusing song. on Queen's ANight_at_the_Opera_, the first song - Death_On_Two_Legs - is a very hard rock song with very pissed off lyrics.

This is also essential when the composers created music where the flow from one song to the next is part of the art of the album. I'm old enough to have a lot of music where whole albums are worth listening to.
