Pick AIMP if…
AIMP suits people looking for a free audio player for Windows, Linux or Android, particularly those needing support for a broad range of listed formats. It is not a fit if subtitle support or 4K playback is required.
Pick mpv if…
mpv suits users comfortable with command-line software who want broad media and subtitle support. Developers may also value its C API for embedding the player in other applications.
