AIMP: tiniest memory usage for a music player, library, tabs; beats XMplay

(1/3) > >>

urlwolf:
I really like tiny apps.
I liked XMplay, but this AIMP2 is even better.
It uses BASS too.

The good
   Tiniest footprint ever, even with library open. I have a large library. Mediamonkey used ~100Mb + 100Mb virtual. Aimp uses 10-30mb
   Tabs
   Global shortcuts work (minimize to tray)
   

Things that I miss
   Last.fm
   Auto-scan directories for changes
   Editing tags from the library is really bad
   No docs, site in russian

aimp_lastfm plugin

urlwolf:
Thanks Phil.
Hard to believe, but the last.fm plugin uses more memory than the player itself (!).

Any other plugins you recommend?

fenixproductions:
Little correction: not WHOLE site is russian. Right "EN" button works for "Player" page :)

urlwolf:
I can't believe how lastFM.exe is eating up ram.
What are they doing? Wasn't this supposed to be a tiny daemon sending something to a server at the end of a song? Do they need 100mb for that?
