Development

The first version of AIMP was released on August 8, 2006[7] and was named after its creator: Artem Izmaylov Media Player. AIMP was initially based on the audio library BASS, developed by XMPlay and MO3 developers Un4seen Developments.[8] Version 3 added a new audio engine and full support for ReplayGain, and revamped the music library interface transparency effects.
