I just don't know what could make AIMP better than a well-configured Winamp ("well-configured" means sth like "all unnecessary plugins are removed")...

Winamp's Media Library is unbeatable IMHO, and its Tag Editor should be enough for most uses...

(There's Mp3tag, however...)

And I don't know why a media player should be able to convert my tracks. I want it to play them!

Every time a new media player is launched, everyone says it's "better than Winamp", but no-one can tell why...

Who said it was better than winamp here?

It's just a matter of personal choice. Personally I dumped winamp years and years ago for foobar2000. It's a preference/personal choice

Same here. But I do think it's interesting that their main screenshot on the homepage (assuming that's the default skin) pretty much IS the Winamp Modern skin.

and th3rEsa, a lot of people like having a fully functioning player. With foobar I can play, mass tag, mass rename, mass move and convert my music all from one app. Makes things easier having it all there.

I just tried this again,I used it a few months ago, (download also works now), and unless it is capable of playing the like of Pink Floyd tracks as one track without a pause between then it is no good.

I don't want a "crossfade" because the minimum is 1/2 a second, and i'm sorry, but 1/2 second may as well be 10 seconds because it ruins the continuity of the whole album.

Pink Floyd music tends to be seperate tracks that are all joined as one piece of music, and AIMP puts a gap between each track if crossfade is turned off.

Unless anyone know different?

Looks good. Sounds good, but sorry, Winamp FTW still.

[th3rEsa]

Is there any AIMP skin for Winamp btw?

Do we know what the encoders and decoders are? Say, fraunhauffer (sp... :)) and perhaps MAD @ 24 bit??? Or such like :)

I ve recently just switched to this from winamp. I recommend it.

I second that.. In my .. personal Opinion tried it months ago, I hardly used winamp

regularly unless I wanted to add songs to my ipods(thanks to ml_pod) ..

besides that AIMP is Uber cool.... best feature .... multiple playlists

[EnzoFX]

I'm almost afraid to post this, but why are people still sticking with winamp? IMO it's UI/organization is incredibly outdated, a thing of the past really. Just wondering, please take no offense.

[th3rEsa]

You haven't used it for a long time, have you?

Its UI looks either like AIMP or like MediaMonkey (depending on your skin), its organization has dramatically been improved...

[EnzoFX]

Well it's kinda always looked the same to me. I use MediaMonkey (not to organize) and I even find it a little too busy. There's just too much going on, overly complicated gui wise. It really is easy to see that it is not a mainstream product.
