I discovered XMplay while trying to play the tracker files of the soundtrack copied from my old Deus Ex cd. I think it was in MOD files, some kind of spicy midi that includes some samples.
ProTracker modules, that takes me back to my Amiga days! I don’t think I’ve ever heard them described as “spicy midi” before though. I may have to steal that. ;)
Also XMPlay runs flawlessly via Wine. I have it installed on my desktop for the occasional music file VLC won’t play and Qmmp is no help with. :)
Correction, Winamp still does this today while using a fraction of the resources.
Though if you’re on Windows I’d recommend Xmplay instead, it plays basically everything.
I’m on Linux and I use VLC.
don’t use winamp, use wacup
on linux use audacious
Why
XMplay, that brings me back!

I use Linux esclusively since 2006 though.

Have you tried AIMP on Windows? If so, how does it compare with Xmplay?
Never tried it, sorry
