AIMP Classic is a powerful audio player that allows you to listen to your favorite music with an outstanding sound quality. Its appearance resembles that of another classical audio player (Winamp), so you'll get used to it very quickly. It can also be customized with skins. The program includes a 18-band equalizer, a visualization window to display rhythmic visual effects and a playlist editor to organize your audio files. A nice fading effect makes your list of songs look like an endless music loop and a handy volume normalizing feature avoids drastic volume changes between tracks. Also, the player's main functions can be conveniently controlled by global hotkeys. Besides playing music, AIMP Classic features three extra utilities which also enable you to record any sound on your computer, convert audio files from one format to another and view or edit tags. AIMP Classic is based on the well-known audio engine BASS, so it's easy to connect new plug-ins (from the plug-in library included in the program) and expand the player's functionalities.

I tried the last version and it's library interface was a nightmare. Foobar has an excellent gui, is way more powerful and just plain works better. Yeah, about a 1000 times better in fact. And xmplay still is just a better all around player of audio files including streaming radio stations. Xmplay even tells you when there is an update for a plugin (too bad foo can't do this). I would use soundbase over this and soundbase sucks too. But for just playing music from a hard drive NOTHING can touch foobar and it's extremely easily configured gui.

Great player, small and nice looking. Better then Winamp.

i love this player.. has so many great features.. many that I seem to accidentally come across from time to time. I don't know what they do to it, but it sounds significantly better than any other player - even other players that use the same BASS engine (xmplay for example) - should be identical, but this just sounds clearer, crisper and... well better. playlist manager is pretty decent. Tag editor, is great, looks nice too. I have to use the dredded itunes for my ipod (god I hate itunes so much), but for actually playing stuff I aimp. Beta 4 seems pretty stable to me too.

A stunningly good player. Tidy. Quick. Conceptually superb. Playback, multi-lists, ratings, burning recording in all the right places - clear and easy. 5+ stars to the ruskies. Still get occasional stutters on my old P3 laptop though even when the system load seems very low. (I've almost stopped using 1by1 !!) ??????????? ??? ????? ?????

Ugly as sin.

Very good well designed media player, separates the media library out from the player, allows winamp plugins, records any stream (eg internet radio) simply and reliably), quality stuff all round. Great out-of-the-box UI. Very stable but a few pretty minor incomplete or not fully implemented features.

This thing is amazing. I don't think I will ever go back to winamp.

Genius. Fully replaced winamp for me, better in every way. It even has a winamp skin for those of you used to that interface. Sound quality is the best part, blows away all other players, try it and you'll hear the difference right away!

One of the better Media Players out there, dsp and other plugins from various sources work with it as well. As to the d/l error for the recent 244 build I found it here: http://www.freewarefiles...c-RC_program_28231.html Use the Freeware files link not the AIMP until its fixed.

Would like to review this product (2.5), but download link is kaput. Have installed 2.1, and really like it. Sounds great, and the playlist features are what really shine, as it allows you to have multiple playlists for each genre (how I have my one set up any how). Can't find skins too easily for this software, but default skins are nice.

I have not tested the current 2.5 release candidate, but installed version 2.11 a week ago. I instantly liked the look, sound and small footprint of 2.11. Once you use this for about an hour you will see how truly intuitive this player is. A week later you are truly impressed with every aspect of this player. Not to mention being extremely friendly on system resources. Mind you I am not a big skins and visualization guy, I am all about sound quality and functionality. So I cant really comment on the eye candy side of things. As far as sound quality and functionality, there is not a better player out there right now. There isnt even a close second. This is the best audio player in years. It took me all of 5 days to uninstall my former favorite player. Rarely am I truly impressed with an audio player. The design team at AIMP has created a true gem. Hopefully as time goes on AIMP continues with their intuitive design and commitment to sound quality.... without turning into a bloated waste of disk space like so many other good players have done over the years. Thank you AIMP!!
