While many view the design and layout of AIMP as superior to that of Winamp, we were surprised by the sheer functionality included with such a media player. It features crisp audio output for media files like MP3 and also fully supports playback of Audio CDs. What's more is the conversion functionality which gives users of AIMP the ability to copy the content of Audio CDs onto the hard drive, thus also being an Audio CD ripper on top of a standard MP3 Player for Windows.
Apart from support of Audio CD and MP3 files (and around 20 other audio formats), AIMP supports a long list of different audio formats which can be arranged into simple playlists and saved for future use. While you're enjoying music, you can also let out the inner DJ and use AIMP's 18-band audio equalizer and improve the quality of the sound it produces.
Among other features AIMP sports is audio sound recording, cd ripping, audio conversion, an extensive file search, versatile global hotkeys and a fully-featured audio library.
So if you're sick of Winamp crashing or you simply want to update your everyday MP3 player on Windows from something produced in the 90s to something more modern, AIMP may just be what you're looking for.

AIMP (Artem Izmaylov Media Player) is a freeware audio player for Windows and Android, originally developed by Russian developer Artem Izmaylov (Russian: Артём Измайлов, tr.Artyom Izmajlov).[1] The first version of AIMP, dubbed 'AIMP Classic', was released on August 8, 2006. AIMP was initially based on the BASS audio library.[6] Version 3 added a new audio engine and full support for ReplayGain, and revamped the music library interface transparency effects.
Features[edit]
AIMP can play many file types, including MP3, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), Dolby AC-3, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, Speex, Windows Media Audio, Apple Lossless, FLAC, WAV and Audio CDs.
AIMP can also play many other audio formats like Monkey's Audio (APE), Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor (TAK) and True Audio; DTS audio, MP1, MP2, Musepack, OptimFROG, WavPack, MIDI, Impulse Tracker, MO3, MOD, MultiTracker Module, S3M, and Fasttracker 2 Extended Module.
AIMP supports the DirectSound, ASIO and WASAPI audio interfaces, and it uses 32-bit audio processing for its 18-band equalizer and built-in sound effects (Reverb, Flanger, Chorus, Pitch, Tempo, Echo, Speed, Bass, Enhancer, Voice Remover).
Among other features AIMP provides ability to load the entire media file, which is currently being played back, into the RAM of the computer (currently the options allow for media files of a size of up to 250MB to be loaded into RAM automatically at the start of playback; the file is subsequently deleted from RAM again, once playback has finished).
The advantage of this is that seamless playback without any interruptions is almost guaranteed, even on slower, older machines, and even under heavy multi-tasking with demanding programs, which may read or write continuously to and from the drives of the computer, since the file resides entirely in RAM and can hence always be accessed by the program without delay.
Other common players such as Winamp can read the media files in chunks in time for playback on resource-limited platforms. The byte size of these chunks can be adjusted from a few kilobytes up to 16 megabytes. This piecemeal loading may generate interruptions during playback, including the clicking noises which may occur as a result of such interruption.
As with offline media stored on local HDDs or other media or devices, AIMP is also able to cache up to 60 seconds of internet radio streams into RAM, which ensures seamless internet radio playback even when the internet connection is slowing down suddenly due to other downloads running at the same time or if sudden heavy use by neighbours or flatmates occurs while you are listening to the web radio. One drawback of this function is that channel switching is slowed as the buffer is first filled up to at least 25% before the playback starts (i.e. with 60 seconds of cache selected, the music will take up to 15 seconds to start playing).

Third-party scam warning[edit]
The developers of AIMP warn on their official website that there is an ongoing scam by the unknown fraudsters behind the website aimp2.us, which has no connection whatsoever to the AIMP development team, and call upon its users not to donate any money to this fake site.[10] AIMP is a freeware program and as such brought to the users free of charge.
