  • Yes, that’s what it does by default. The problem happens when you open a new tab to search for something, for example, and the update screen and restart distract you and you forget what you were going to search for. It’s like the feeling you get when you walk into a room and can’t remember why.

    Mint, it just works.

    You can set up automatic updates too, so they won’t end up with out of date software and possible security holes. The only downside is Firefox. If an update runs while your grandparents are using Firefox, it will stop working and show them a page that says it needs to be restarted.

    It’s not a major issue in itself, but if you have any sort of memory issues, like I do and lots of older people do, it can derail your train of thought and cause you problems.




  • Apologies for the double reply, but I found out something else about MediaMonkey last night. I thought my podcasts were badly organised because I’d made a mistake in the download options on MediaMonkey for Windows, and tried to fix it.

    It turns out that the Android app automatically sorts podcasts by the album artist rather than the podcast name, but a lot of podcasts have the episode presenters listed as the album artists. As a result, I’ve currently got 10 differents podcasts named Clockwise, and 9 named Brad and Will Make a Tech Pod on my phone. If I want to listen to multiple episodes in order, I’ve got to search for them between what MediaMonkey considers to be separate podcasts.

    There have been posts on the forum from 2019 and 2022 asking if there’s a way to change this, but they’ve been ignored :(


  • Keep an eye on your media volume with Media Monkey. I’ve been using the Windows and Android versions for years, but I’ve noticed that a lot of my music is getting quieter.

    I haven’t been able to narrow it down to Media Monkey or something else yet, but MM is the most likely culprit, as it’s the only media player I use.

    I’ve ripped CDs with the same settings as other CDs, and the files play back much quieter than the other ripped CDs and the CD they were ripped from.
