I'm using the AIMP Portable Apps version. I've noticed that AIMP still uses the Windows local "Roaming" folder for active settings. Does the Portable version do this becasue for better Windows integration?
The problem I have with it is that it makes AIMP not really portable, as if I take my portable version with me - all of my profile settings are left on the local Windows machine's "roaming" directory. So I can't just plug a USB into another machine and use AIMP portable.
Or, have I misunderstood something?

The AIMP installer from the AIMP website always offers the option to do its own Portable install during setup--as shown in the frame posted by Soolo (even though it's not the "recommended" one for some reason). Unlike the "Portable Apps" 3rd-party version, this one really does keep all files and settings in a single folder that you choose, nothing ends up the Windows "Roaming" folder or in the Registry. Once you select it, it allows you to pick the folder you want to put it in. It's the only version I've ever used.

Geez. I thought the portable apps version was from AIMP. Damnit. I'll get the real version and use that. Now I get to do all my stuff over AGAIN! Hopefully at least I can restore my playlists.
