As a new user, I probably wouldn’t know what to search for, and join the ranks of people who have seemingly preferred the new design. I had to go to the website and download Pandemic. It only comes with white and dark “Bliss”. I did not find the classic Pandemic skin “included” in the package. There doesn’t seem to be anything I can configure to change that, because the data is manipulated as Album Artist internally. Composers are also listed with semicolon and no space.ĪIMP will read in Ensemble tags from my FLAC files of classical music as if they were another value of Album Artist, which is inconsistent with the literal meaning of that field, and my usage of it to record the Orchestra. AIMP will spit out a fugly string of “Bryan Adams Rod Stewart Sting” instead of using spaces, commas and ampersands where appropriate (as can be done with $meta_sep(), preferably with different color to indicate that the comma is not part of the artist’s proper name. The implementation in AIMP is still rudimentary. This is a standard feature of Ape and Vorbis formats, and has worked in Foobar since the beginning. I am pleased to see that *finally* multiple values per tag field are supported, which I asked for in the forums last year. It is not possible to use any semi-standard fields not recognized by the developer (such as the date of reissue/remaster or the media type). AIMP is obviously not capable to be a tagger and replace either Foobar or Mp3tag. The functionality for managing metadata has been and still is weak and *rigid*. I’ve actually enjoyed exploring the convoluted Settings dialogs, various layout options, and looking at the simple VU meters, while encountering fewer cosmetic glitches compared to other software. Until now the strength of AIMP has been pleasant visual design. You may install the version anew, upgrade an existing version of AIMP or install it as a portable version instead. It supports the aften.exe command line encoder for AC3 formats now, multi tag values for APEv2, ID3v2, Vorbis Commens and M4A tags, and an option to limit the connection attempts when connecting to Internet radio stations when the connection is lost.ĭownloads of AIMP 4 Beta 1 are provided on the official project website. The developers have added new functionality to the player as well. You may hide local files with the shortcut Ctrl-M. If you don't use that feature, you end up with lots of wasted space in the interface especially since it is not possible currently to hide local files in AIMP 4. Music you play, and to a degree played, takes up about one third of the width of the interface while the remaining width is reserved for local files that you have added to AIMP. It may feel strange at first that the actual music that you are playing is listed on the right side of the interface and not front and center. It is accessible right from the main window. The library that you used previously remains available after upgrading from version 3.x to AIMP 4. What you may notice right away is that the music library has been integrated into the main application whereas it was loaded as a separate window in previous versions. It features main playback controls at the top, and below that access to local files, playlists and other functionality. The dimensions of the main application window have been expanded. The developers of the music player are working on the current stable version of the client and the next major version of it at the same time.ĪIMP 4, currently available as a first beta release, ships with a new user interface that moves it away from looking like another Winamp clone on first sight.
