Pretty cool replacement player for Winamp
#1
Have used winamp for years but the never versions were starting to piss me off a little with too much clutter. I also hated the fact that it faded away when minimizing as it did it right next to my Scope volume control.

Maybe there was a way to disable that but couldn't find it.


So looked for something else and came across: Aimp2

http://www.aimp2.us

Has a very slick GUI with some really nice skins, not cheesy like the Winamp stuff. It also has a cool feature where tracks in the playlist maintain their root folder name. So if you have tracks from different folders they will be organized on the playlist automatically.

Other than that it has pretty much everything I needed from Winamp.

Have noticed the latest version is only available on the Russian version:

http://aimp.ru/

Even has a nice feature to shut down the pc after so much time so you can set it to play music while you go to bed and have it turn off automatically.

Yeah, I agree. Been using it for 6 or so months and really like it.

Only thing that bugs me about AIMP now is I always seem to accidentally minimize it, think if you double click in a certain area it does it.
