Development
The first version of AIMP was released on August 8, 2006[8] and was named after its creator: Artem Izmaylov Media Player. AIMP was initially based on the audio library BASS, developed by XMPlay and MO3 developers Un4seen Developments.[9] Version 3 added a new audio engine and full support for ReplayGain, and revamped the music library interface transparency effects.
In a 2018 comment on AIMP's official forum, Artem Izmaylov states that there are no plans for AIMP to support video playback, and suggests VLC media player instead.[10]

Features
Summarize
Perspective
The player supports audio codecs, including MP3, AAC, Dolby AC-3, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, Speex, Windows Media Audio, Apple Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Audio CDs, APE, True Audio; DTS audio, MP1, MP2, Musepack, OptimFROG, WavPack, MIDI, Impulse Tracker, MO3, MOD, MultiTracker Module, S3M, Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor (TAK), and FastTracker 2 Extended Module.
It 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).
AIMP can store the currently played media file in RAM, up to 250 MB, ensuring smooth playback.
AIMP can also cache up to 60 seconds of internet radio streams to RAM, allowing for uninterrupted playback over unreliable internet connections. A drawback of this function is that channel switching is slowed as the buffer is first filled 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).
Other features
Other features of AIMP include a LastFM scrobbler, a Playlist and Advanced Tag Editor, Multi-User support, support for Internet Radio stream capturing and cloud streaming, a 20-band equalizer, plug-in and skin support, visualizations from Sonique and UltraPlayer, a multi-language interface, Rating and listening statistics, CUE sheet support, a CD ripping tool with audio encoding support, and a searchable audio library with customizable track grouping.
