Is it possible to use COM objects in MetroStyle apps? I wanted to develop a simple app that uses MediaMonkey’s API through COM.

In general it is not possible to use existing COM objects from a metro style application. There are some exceptions, but almost all existing COM objects will be blocked at runtime.
Your best bet is to see if the MediaMonkey folks can repackage their API as a winrt component and then add that component to your package.
