It’s a bit difficult to describe the differences, but I'll try anyway
Adaptation of software to people is actually a simplifying the software to the most accessible level
Similarly, preparing a list of songs is a kind of very easy programming
AIMP working in a software configuration which with it all playlists are under Now Playing. In fact there is nothing that is not under Now Playing. The lists are arranged in tabs (which by the way, one of the ways you can move between them is pointing on their area with the curser, and scrolling with the mouse. It is quite useful), and of course you can use a large number of playlists which could be open, and thousands of songs on each list.
Of course there is the option of random playback of songs, but there is also an additional option of selecting tracks with the Middle mouse key, to be played themselves right next. So clicking the mouse adds to the file a little number in ascending order
You can add songs to play immediately, one after another, from all open playlists
So what it gives you?
It’s getting back to the simplifying programming idea
Suppose now that I hear all the songs of Eric Clapton, and suddenly I fill that I just have to listen to specific 3 songs. I can quickly and easily not only choose what will play immediately, but also I can choose afterwards what will happen: what playlist, and what format playing (random, etc.) will it continue with after this three songs
Another option: choosing songs to play immediately, is usually characterized by quite a one – time use, and not really saved for the future (there is a way in which you can restore it, but it is not the intention). Suppose I chose that way a list of 17 songs which are all same the same song in a different performance, to compare between them and to choose my favorite. Suppose that after the second song my wife enters the room, and if I won’t stop the ‘temporary’ list, the music will get her so annoyed that I would have to completely turn off the music. I have the ability to open a separate window "QUEQE MANAGER" in which I can take off songs from the temporary list, change their order and even put this list on PAUSE, and continue playing regular one, and only later re-enable this list.
I will not go into the extensive user-friendly mouse use in the software, which in a lot of places in the interface when you put the curser on display parts and scroll - what it does.
Some of the questions I asked here about these features indicate a lack of openness in thought. It's as if they were coming to Bill Gates with the idea of adding a button using the computer (it just an example. I didn’t searched for who brought it up first), which can also scroll the screen, and he would say "What is it good for? I can do that with the keyboard in this way, and it that way, or grab with the curser the scroll bar on the side, or .. . you get the idea? How could we know if the development of the middle button is really good? Look for anyone today that would think of giving up on this possibility...
The same way I can write that I worked with this software only for a week. Probably not learned yet it whole, but its drawbacks have quite prominent, and honestly and without condescension it feels to me like giving up the middle mouse button.
All sorts of things written here about AIMP quite arrogant and closed-minded. This program is free software, very well written, and its user-friendliness excels. It is written by some Russians programmers, who are not trying to promote it with any marketing efforts. AIMP got to where it stands in the market mainly by way of referrals, and it won a lot of awards and recognition. There's no shame to look at they success and try to understand it .
