I was the same when I first got MediaMonkey way back in 2008/9.

Then, whenever I was at the PC tagging files I would end up playing
some tracks using MediaMonkey, while I worked on tagging. The problem
was that PC speakers are mediocre and the hassle of plugging the laptop
into the Hi-Fi was offputting, to say the least.

I found a few scripts on the MediaMonkey Forum and cobbled them
together into something that worked for me. It changed the whole
experience by routing what ever I was playing on MediaMonkey to my
Squeezebox Server and in turn my various players around the house. This
was all way back in 2009 and I was using it so often I almost forgot the
script exists.

Anyway - July 2011 and Ginegernut63, with some small contribution from
myself, enhanced the script and got it released as a MediaMonkey addon
called MonkeySqueeze for all Squeezebox / MediaMonkey users to access
without the hassle of trying to cobble together bits of code from the
various MediaMonkey Forum posts.

MonkeySqueeze doesn't replace Squeezebox Server but it just means that
the program (MediaMonkey) used on the PC for all that tagging, clever
playlist creation and the day-job type stuff can finally "talk-to" the
SBS and sound good. The bonus, of course is connecting the laptop to
the Hi-Fi doesn't need to even be considered an option.

I would say it's a perfect partnership and one I had taken for granted
for 2 years or so.

If you haven't tried MonkeySqueeze with MediaMonkey and Squeezebox
Server give it a whirl and see how it goes. I couldn't imagine
MediaMonkey without it and it gives Squeezebox Server an extra
dimension regarding real-time playlist.
