Is there a way to or has anyone been able to use milkytracker as a decoder for a music player or even as a standalone player with the usual amenities such as playlists? I quite like how it sounds, specially when you tweak some of its settings such as setting an appropriate resampling filters for each song.
- daneel_w 3y agoIt's not the right tool for that job. What you want is e.g. XMPlay/BASS (https://www.un4seen.com/ https://www.un4seen.com/) or MikMod (https://mikmod.sourceforge.net/ https://mikmod.sourceforge.net/).

- daneel_w 3y agoYeah Delitracker is a great choice, too, since it runs practically every replay routine ever made.
- amlib 3y agoI've used xmplay and modplug, but specially xmplay don't always produce the best sounding output. I've also seen a few modules just play corrupted on xmplay... I've also used stuff like audacious to play those files with wathever tracker decoder they provide, but they don't allow much flexibility in the playback settings nor associating an specific decoder to an specific module. They usually also lack a variety of different decoders..
- daneel_w 3y agoThat's the opposite of my experience. BASSMOD (XMPlay) is, second to actually running the original replayers on the Amiga, the most accurate MOD replayer I've ever come across. Unlike e.g. Milky~ and MikMod, it already ages ago managed all of the effect commands of the "NT2" MOD standard, including the curiosities of the Amiga's audio hardware, with 100% accuracy. It has a reputation of being just as accurate for FT2, ScreamTracker and ImpulseTracker etc., though I can't confirm it personally since I never got into either of those very much.
