There's also Modplug player if it still exists. Yeah, I think XMPlay has the best FT2 reproduction fidelity to date. |

Someone already mentioned OpenMPT (Open Modplug Tracker). It seems to play everything right and it can also extract the samples, export to midi etc.

I'm guessing from this that FT2 is non-standard in this area and this could be related to the issues many MOD players have reproducing XM pitch bends accurately. Actually it's more complex than that: not only does every tracker on the planet handle pitchbends in various ways (and usually differently from everything else), FT2 also has two different pitch tables (native and "Amiga") and IIRC both result in slightly different bends. Quote: Just tried XMPlay with two problematic modules and had no issues at all! My only problem is that it doesn't seem to reproduce the clipping on all of my modules even if AutoAmp is turned off. I know this should be good, but there's character in that truncated mess! Actually that sounds like a pretty bad problem, considering a LOT of modules are mixed to clip slightly on purpose... basically like it's not totally uncommon to use a clipper in place of (or in addition to) a limiter in modern production either. Quote: I'll check out Cubic at some point too as I'm still x86 here... Well, back in the DOS days it kinda had the reputation of being able to play almost anything almost correctly. What that means is that there are modules that abuse features (or bugs) of a particular tracker in ways that cause them to fail with anything else, but unless a particular module does something very obscure cubic could probably play it more or less right (with the notable exception of Impulse Tracker modules, which I wouldn't trust cubic to always get right). |

Oh and regarding Cubic: back when my most powerful computer was a 486DX4/100 Cubic was pretty much the only software that managed to play MP3 files in real-time (in Winamp you'd have to force mono-decoding etc). |
