I like the skins because they allow me to choose the look and feel of my media player rather than being stuck the well-crafted user interfaces that come as standard on Spotify or I-tunes. This freedom also allows me to design how I see my music and that is a key factor for me. There is a really wide range of skins available to download for windows including Soot v2. It has dark tone with a horizontal form, a mat surface and a 4K interface.
Another skin titled, Smoke and flame V0. The form is also Horizontal with a middle tone and a Mat surface. The interface is thematic, and this is one of my go to Skins to use in Windows because of the larger font, flare buttons and simplified equalizer.
AIMP has also managed to cater for Android which is great to see. One Skin available is Deep Purple V1. It works on AIMP v2. Like you, I was getting fed up with being cattle herded by companies like Apple and Spotify as to how my music player should look. All the other various restrictions in place that try to keep me in their customer box and not use or combine other services were also bothering me.
Although this media player is 21 years old there have been updates and in conjunction with the plugins, skins and hotkeys available for Windows and Android I wanted to know more. I liked the fact that during the set up there were so many options for the language and with the easy to use run wizard I was ready to start customizing in under 5 minutes.
As expected the interface menu has all the standard options to import your music files but I was really impressed with the options available in the preferences set up. The tool enables you to manage each small detail, from utility. In the player set up, with the right plug in which is free , I can search for song lyrics straight from the internet which is super-fast and is a great tool to use when I am experimenting with visualization. It ensures seamless internet radio playback even when the internet is running slow due to other downloads running at the same time.
Plugins and skins will allow you to make future adaptations to the player set up. The playlist settings focus on appearance, file adding, sorting by template and of course the track list export. I can choose to see the switches and duration columns along with the expand buttons and second line info if these are features that work for me. The menu is also there to manage the system connections for the internet, my file associations and tray.
After setting up the basics the real fun begins with exploring all the Plug-ins and Skins to change the look of the interface and maximize what I can do with my music collection. Redesigning and customizing my AIMP media player is now as much a part of the fun of listening to the music as the music itself.
