MediaMonkey for Android is an advanced version of media player for devices that run on Android operating system to help one in managing and syncing very large music collections. It was developed by Ventis Media. It has been around for quite some time and the application is more about media management than just a media player.

This media player depends on android operating system for playback and media scanning whenever it is used as standalone. MediaMonkey supports any formats that are supported by the device. It runs on the kinds of fields that are read by the operating system scanner and they can be visible on the application. This only means that most audio and video formats can be supported by the software with a few exceptions of the old devices that the application cannot run on due to incompatibility issues.

As a requirement, MediaMonkey for Android does not run on any other device that operates on android operating system but it runs on Android Version 2.3 onwards. This is android gingerbread but the application can also operate on android 2.3 (froyo) even though it is not a supported platform. The media player can be started on the device by just making a click on the application icon or widget, or it can be initiated through Bluetooth device or even a headset button.

MediaMonkey for Android comes in different versions and each version has its own features and specifications for the application. These versions include MediaMonkey (free) which is free version of the application that can be obtained by just anyone operating with a higher android version. The second is the MediaMonkey Pro which unlocks some of the features and come with more advanced properties than the free version and MediaMonkey Beta which is inclusive of all the features in both pro and free versions.
