This add-on works with MediaMonkey v2.x-4.x (there is also version of the add-on that works with MM v5). It allows finding and selecting of the currently playing track in the Media Tree and main tracklist, i.e. it works similarly as the built-in Find More from Same and Focus tracklist on currently playing item MM options combined.

However, when the Enable automatic finding of currently playing track option is turned on, the main tracklist will locate and set the keyboard focus on the currently playing track whenever any of them starts playing. Or, you could turn that option off and use a hotkey or the toolbar button to locate the playing file instead. You could use its other options in the Options dialog box to determine where in the Media Tree you want to locate the playing files.

If you want to discus about this add-on, you could visit its related MediaMonkey forum thread. You could also take a look on my other add-ons for MediaMonkey.

Installation

• For MediaMonkey 3.0 or higher - just double-click on the FindCurrentPlayingTrack-xx.mmip file; if you are on Vista or Win7 and you got "Product installation error", make sure you have MM3 set to "Run as Administrator"; if you downloaded the installation package with IE7 and it changed its extension to a .zip, you should first change it back to a .mmip.
• For MediaMonkey 2.x - rename a .mmip extension to a .zip, extract the FindCurrentPlayingTrack.vbs file to the MediaMonkey's "Scripts\Auto" folder and restart MM program.

You need to accept the license agreement if you want to use this add-on.

Usage

The add-on settings are in the Tools / Options dialog box within the General / Find Currently Playing Track page: you could turn on/off the automatic finding of tracks on playback and you could choose if you want to locate folder containing the currently playing track within the Library\Location node or within the My Computer node, or if you want just to select the track in the currently displayed tracklist.

You could also toggle automatic finding and start manual finding of tracks using buttons on the Shortcuts [MM2-3] / Find Currently Playing Track [MM4] toolbar.

Limitations

Selecting of the track in the main tracklist works only with the program v3.1.0.1218 or higher.

Finding of tracks in My Computer folder is not possible with the network drives (although Network works fine within the Library\Location folder); actually, even the built-in Find More from Same\Folder (My Computer) MM option doesn't work with the network drives.
