AIMP

Are you still using Windows Media Player or – gasp – iTunes on your PC? Then for the love of all that is good and great in the world, embrace AIMP instead.

Unlike the programs we’ve just mentioned it’s fast, friendly and won’t have you throwing f-bombs around every time you try to do anything.

Why you need it

Most of us use our PCs for some kind of music playback, whether it’s hardcore techno while we hoover or podcasts for us to ponder. The default music players that ship with Windows or with music playing devices tend to be pretty awful, and fairly limited in what they can do.

Not AIMP. It covers all the essentials but adds useful options including a really cool feature to strip the vocals from your songs to make your own karaoke tracks. It can wake you up with music, organise your MP3 collection, tune into internet radio stations and feed your pets when you go on holiday.

We made that last one up. But you can stick AIMP on a USB drive to move it from one machine to another, which is really useful if you’re reliant on other people’s PCs. Factor in extensive sound options including special effects and you’ve got an app that’s puts the fun back into functional.
