    Command-line mod player using libxmp

  • Since it's down you can get your mod fix from https://modland.ziphoid.com/pub/modules/ (features some good ol' directory browsing though)

    I've had best listening results with https://github.com/libxmp/xmp-cli/

    A friend of mine wrote an excellent player which uses libxmp and a bunch of other libs to play a bunch of old formats, it's rather good: https://github.com/intealls/modp

    Module Oriented Large Archive Specialized Slow Exhaustive Searcher (by eqy)

  • A truly invaluable resource. Many years ago I was searching for the music used in this ancient Tom's Hardware video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1hg1zf7rrY after finding out that many previous Tom's Hardware video soundtracks were featured modules from the archive. However, this one remained elusive until I realized that the entire archive to ~2007 was available as a torrent and that even a single laptop could run the "shazaam" algorithm fast enough to search it given a few days of time ;) https://github.com/eqy/molasses

    And the song is silent running by dragonfly : http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&que...
