AIMP can store the currently played media file in RAM, up to 250 MB, ensuring smooth playback.
AIMP can also cache up to 60 seconds of internet radio streams to RAM, allowing for uninterrupted playback over unreliable internet connections. A drawback of this function is that channel switching is slowed as the buffer is first filled to at least 25% before the playback starts (i.e. with 60 seconds of cache selected, the music will take up to 15 seconds to start playing).
