AIMP (short for Artem Izmaylov Media Player) is a free yet professional and advanced audio player for Windows and Android platforms, developed by Artem Izmaylov from Russia. It supports most music file formats, 32-bit audio processing, plugin extensions, global hotkeys, file search, creation of bookmarks and playback queues, alarms and automatic shutdown, Internet radio, multiple languages, and more.

AIMP's user interface is simple to use (it looks and behaves like the classic music player Winamp), but it uses much less system resources than Winamp (only about 1/10), making it considered one of the best alternatives to Winamp. In addition to the various functions that a music player should have, it also provides audio conversion, sound recording, ID3 tag editing, skin making and other practical functions.

But in terms of functionality, AIMP provides the functionality that is closer to what the average user needs, rather than a big package of software. If you're not happy with the AIMP's presets, you can download and install plug-ins from the official website to extend its functionality to suit your needs. In addition, AIMP supports skin changing and making. Its official website already offers many beautiful ready-made skins for download, you can also use the skin editor to make your own ones.
