What exactly is wrong with XMPlay? For me it plays absolutely everything I throw at it, provided I have the necessary plugins.
Isn't Eagleplayer open source? Someone should port it to modern platforms. |

Eagleplayer is open source, however it is written in ASM so any porting attempt would be extremely problematic if not impossible.

Ok, let's catch up with all the suggestions;

But generally this took everything else I threw at it. Not sure why it didn't work previously, could be the plugin, as I had more than 1 claimed Amiga related one in there last time... or it could be something to do with Windows 10 and how it handles folders; I now have it in the C:\Program Files(x86) which seems to work better with older, 32 bit programs. It's also set to Adminstrator too. I'm relatively happy with this then, but if anyone else is having issues I can sit and test the other alternatives. |

Hi guys,
XMPlay has great plugin capabilities but for MOD format, I'd rather use a standalone player. Since modplug player follow-up (OpenMDT) has become labyrinthine, I finally opted for the BZR player. Quote:

I used a little XMPlay for MOD format, but immediately found some modules which playback was wrong
So, i soon switched again to an Amiga player No idea if BZRPlayer is good for Protracker format, never tested it, sorry |

For all general use, I use ModPlugPlayer. For protracker mods it is usually acceptable for most mods, and it also plays a few exotic tracker formats, ie. far, mtm, ptm, 669, etc. reasonably well. Where MPP is extremely useful is in multi-channel PC tracker format modules. Tbh, MPP plays Impulse tracker modules much better than all the other players, especially when you listen to 60+ channel mods. Also hates mods using loops and pattern scrolling/breaks, Repeat also broken. No use for large playlists as 9999 is the maximum, you can add more, but it just makes playing the odd mod easier than the other players.
XMPlay literally has all my mods in it's playlist (140,000+ all formats). It's clunky, but I like the playlist & library functions, but it is temperamental when using a large amount of files. Also has good support for plugins and skins. Playback is great but not as good as MPP on some PC format modules. For trackers, I use OpenMPT and Milkytracker for playback on the odd module or two. They both have good import functions for other formats, so potential to export/convert to different formats. As I tend to go for "tracked" formats, BRZPlayer seems to do a decent job, as well for those exotic amiga formats. Sadly, I can't get DP to work properly on my Win10 machine anymore. Med & Octamed have always been a pain in the ass to listen to on the PC, there has never been a real decent player for the format, which is a shame, coz there's loads of modules out there. Think you can import them into OpenMPT now? I doubt if anyone will write a bells and whistles mod player for the PC today, but I always wanted a Winamp style program for modules. |

My XMPlay has an Amiga RĂ©tro skin (OS2 style) which perfectly fits with the spirit of listening Amiga modules... I simply loved it.
I run it on both Win7 and Win10... |

Is there any difference between MPP and OpenMPT plugins that are there for Foobar2000 for example?

For me Foobar2000 + OpenMPT, sidplay and some other plugin does the job for 99% of the time. But I rarely play anything that's not just a music module. With a little bit of tweaking Foobar has nice oldschool feeling too: |

.amf - I don't have such files, but looks like OpenMPT loads it https://wiki.openmpt.org/Manual:_Module_formats I just wanted to point out that Milky Tracker doesn't seem to reliable. But maybe it was just buggy export to Protracker compatible format. Quote:
