PC format in Amiga ?
I'm not expert of this subject, so any info is appreciated
I found some .xm files which play on Hippo Player Now, i'm confused It's not xm a PC module ? How it's possible that an Amiga player recognize it ? |

But, why not? It's just data, any computer can be made to play it. HippoPlayer supports lots of different music formats.
As far as I understand it, .xm is pretty similar to other module formats so it doesn't even require any special hardware. Something like a .sid file would of course require a SID chip for authentic playback, but with enough CPU power also that can be emulated. |

You can even import and edit .xm modules on Amiga with Digi Booster. Requires fast processor though if you use more than 8 channels.

Channels are mixed with the CPU.
