AIMP: Free Audio Player for PC and Android

AIMP is a free, playlist-based audio player developed by Artem Izmaylov. The project marked its 20th anniversary in 2026 and is available for PC and Android. Its PC version is being extended to Linux, and an AIMP6 beta with native Linux support has been open to public testing since March 2026.

Platforms and Versions

• PC: The current PC release listed by the developer is v5.40. AIMP6 is described as the first truly cross-platform version of the PC player, able to run on Linux without Wine. Support for Windows 11 on ARM is also planned for this release.
• Android: The Google Play version has been updated to API 37 (Android 17), with TLSv1.3 support and resource optimizations. The app may work incorrectly on devices running MIUI firmware.
• Beta status: The developer notes that the AIMP6 beta may contain many bugs and advises against using it for work where stability and software quality matter.

• Equalization and effects: A built-in 20-band graphic equalizer, balance, pitch and speed control, crossfade between tracks, and volume normalization through ReplayGain or peak-based normalization.
