AIMP is a freeware audio player for Windows, Android and Linux originally developed by Russian developer Artem Izmaylov (Russian: Артём Измайлов, romanized: Artyom Izmajlov). It supports a variety of audio codecs, and includes tools to convert audio files and edit their metadata. It also has the capability of installing user-made skins and plugins. After its release, it has been well received by different parties.

Development

The first version of AIMP was released on August 8, 2006 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. Version 3 added a new audio engine and full support for ReplayGain, and revamped the music library interface transparency effects.
