Library Monkey is the ultimate tool for cataloging, managing and processing your audio assets.

Library Monkey offers many powerful features, including advanced database structure, fast searching, CD ripping, and full conversion options.

Take your SFX, Music, and other CD libraries and rip them to a supported file formats. Once completed you will have access to all of the content you used to spend countless hours searching for and listening to on CD.

Once you have imported your assets, you can organize them according to your needs and working style. User defined sets allow quick access to your favorite files, project references or other user defined categories. Do you keep a talent database? Use sets to organize by name, style, or any other category for instant access to all of your assets. The options are endless.

Have multiple users? No problem. Just export your database and import them to each station and everyone has instant access to your sound library.

In addition, we have integrated the powerful drag-n-drop conversion features of Sound Grinder into Library Monkey. This provides you the ability to perform immediate conversion without the need to import your files.
