This is definitly the best Player you can get!! It should have 5/5 and not 4.4/5 !! Winamp and foobar2000 can't make you happy like this one can !! ;)

Very good, but tag editor is slow and not as good as other players (foobar)

Allways changed my default player (1by1) and then turn back, but what is this for tool, complety rocks! So little and so many things besides an audioplayer with equalizer (echo, tempo etc..also)!! There is an audioconverter, audiorecorder and a shutdown pc option build in! The Hameleon skin with the vuplayer is magic. You can simpy by pressing (+) take a whole folder with all music present in all subfolders to the playlist. You can also open a stream for listening to a internetstream. Rate it 12 stars, complety clock around...

Trounces the ever bloating Winamp, also sounds better. A great proggie, nice skins 10 stars. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Now this is nothing but a Winamp copy... concerning its player functionality, there's nothing special on it, and I personally don't like its default skin either. IMHO Winamp is way more mature.

Finally made a switch :) Got rid of the bloated Winamp.. and installed this AIMP :) I't rocks . .and faster! .. Winamp was lagging :( So will just use this proggy and Foobar2000 now :) - both of them rock One thing i liked about Winamp - when it is playing VBR - it was showing the range (exampe 192 - 320) .. and when, say, mp3 was playing it was going back and forth in the range... Here it's just showing the Average bitrate ... Which is ok also.. (just didn't mind it "going back and forth' as Winamp did... Or is it better like this? .. just to say for example: "average bitrate 229 kbps" .. as it is in AIMP How about both maybe? ... to have it showing the "average bitrate" (as it is now already) .. and to add somewhere so it "shakes" / "going up and down in values" showing kbps while VBR is playing? Maybe a suggestion to the Author of the program? What do you think? P.S. - Way better and smoother than Winamp though! ;) .. 5 stars! FINALLY MADE A SWITCH, LOL!!!!!!!!

This player continues to be my default - it works well , has some nice skins, & sounds good. Doesn't need a million plugins to play my files either. Done.

VirtuialMan_PL: If you can't hear the difference between ASIO / WASAPI and the results of resampling through KMixer there are only two possibilities: 1) Your equipment is not up to the job OR 2) You have a significant hearing problem Stop trying to defend the indefensible by spewing nonsense. No ASIO or WASAPI == No Go as far as I'm concerned. Without that, it's just another ordinary player and there are LOTS of those. THREE stars.

Awesome program !!! So much better than Winamp... Many functions like sound converter, recorder, tag editor, library & radio browser... Beautiful skins and visualizations... Support many Winamp plugins Pure win !!!

This ordinary player work great out of install! ordinary people with ordinary sound equipment who doesn't need ASIWASAPI or whatever it is, should look no further! all my college friend who just need a working non bloated player looked away from winamp after i introduced this soft to them plus: -multi tab playlist (winner!) -tray control and mini player -queue -light, year ahead from winamp -auto-shutdown (this one is nice) -not bloated, other less-used features are modules -no nonsense option, tidily listed minus: -plugin support is still minimum, but all necessary features are all builtin, so who cares? -skin, there's not a whole lot, but the existing one is good and very user friendly, so who cares? definitely recomended 5 stars.... lalala

@ roj - AISO is only lower delay sound interface... it didint improve quality... same resampling 44kHz=>192kHz... or changing 16bit=>32bit and converting MP3 to FLAC Asus Xonar owns all Creative products... same like Audiotrack, E-MU or ESI... then dont funny me with your SB Live or Audigy with kX drivers, because I have it too some time ago... if you dont believe me google some tests...

The best lightwieghtplayer since winamp 2.

@VirtualMan_PL: OK, now we're into lack of knowledge: yours. How do you think ASIO achieves lower latency? By bypassing Kmixer, which is the Windows Kernel Mixer. WASAPI does essentially thye same thing under Vista and while the Vista audio subsystem is completely different form XP's, I will not go into that for the sake of brevity. What does Kmixer do? It resamples the audio stream and the time for the resampling results in the highrer latency. If you talk directly to the hardware, latency is reduced as much as possible – and the audio stream is not tampered with since it isn't resampled. That is exactly what ASIO and WASAPI do. Furthermore, the results of the resampling are AUDIBLE if you're using a competent sound card and speakers. I have: M-Audio Revolution 7.1 Asus Xonar DX Both support ASIO. I use those with Monsoon Planar Media 14s which are not your average multimedia speaker system and Grado SR80s (easily good enough to be able to hear the results of resampled audio). Always remember: it's not about the latency but rather the elimination of resampling. I use ASIO4ALL with my Logitech Z-Cinema Advanced Sound System which do not use a soundcard but output digitally via USB – essentially to an out-of-PC DAC built into the speakers. Even there, the differences between using DirectSound and ASIO via ASIO4ALL are IMMEDIATELY noticeable, to the point where my 16 year old son can hear the differences and comment on them. I will agree with one comment: Creative soundcards are poser garbage. Always were and always will be. Apart from mediocre hardware design, their drivers were, are and will remain pure junk. As someone who cares about the audio in his PC, I'm FAR too intelligent to own one of their products. I certainly don't need to Google any tests as I've been involved with PC audio since the AWE64 and all of my views are based on personal time-tested experience – not stuff I read on the web. To cut a long story short:

Fixed windows 7 issue with weird startup message. The only gripe I have now is that I can't minimize it without it going to tray. Maybe I'm missing something.

Love this player. Is absolutely my favorite for playing shoutcast stations and just plain works well.
