This add-on allows parent auto-playlists to optionally inherit their child playlists, which means that the parent auto-playlists will display all tracks of their child playlists, so you could get the same behavior as with iTunes.
There is no direct download, the add-on will be send by e-mail after received donation. The free version for MM4 is available for download at its web site.

MatchMonkey is a versatile and powerful MediaMonkey 5 add-on designed to enhance your music discovery and playlist creation experience. It integrates multiple discovery modes—including artist, track, genre, mood, and activity-based searches—leveraging the last.fm API and ReccoBeats.com to find music similar to your library or tailored to your mood and activities.
With intelligent multi-pass fuzzy matching, MatchMonkey accurately identifies tracks in your local library, ensuring high-quality matches. Advanced filtering, ranking by popularity, and randomization options allow you to customize playlists to your preferences. The add-on supports flexible playlist management, including creating new playlists, overwriting existing ones, or directly queuing tracks to Now Playing.
MatchMonkey also features an auto-queue mode for seamless, endless playback by automatically adding similar tracks as your playlist nears its end. Performance optimizations and caching ensure smooth operation without interrupting your listening.
Ideal for users seeking dynamic, personalized music exploration and continuous playback within MediaMonkey 5, MatchMonkey combines powerful APIs and smart algorithms to deliver an effortless and engaging listening experience.
