The PC Support Group are back again with the penultimate part of their 7 point guide to free software. This week, they look for free software to help you manage your media, so you can listen to music in your home office.

It’s one thing to have your digital music on your computer, it’s quite another being able to organise it so you can easily find and play what you want, when you want. That’s when media management software comes in useful.

One of the best free software solutions in this category is Media Monkey (currently available for Windows only).

Media Monkey scans your entire PC to find any music (in just about every popular format) and prepares them ready for you to organise. You then arrange your music using various categories such as artist, genre, and so on. It will even go online to retrieve album artwork.

Finally it will allow you to synchronise your music with your portable music player including the iconic iPod.

You can download Media Monkey from www.mediamonkey.com.
