xmms-fc is a Future Composer plugin for XMMS.

Above XMMS plug-in is based on this reference player which has been implemented because hardly any FC player available on PC (and not even on AMIGA) manages to play back all modules without flaws (if at all). On PC, I don't know any.

With other implementations, there is always at least one song that reveals a minor or major bug during playback. If that would happen with this particular implementation, it would be very easy to fix the source code, whereas it would be very difficult to fix an emulated MC680x0 machine code binary-only player.

However, please don't submit any damaged files or the well-known FC modules like Astaroth or Chambers of Shaolin which contain several independent sub-songs and must not be played from beginning till end. Those sub-songs ought to be initialized and played separately. Prepared versions of these individual sub-songs have been made available for download on this page further below. Feel free to delete your old all-in-one version of Astaroth. It is to be used in the original game only.

Contrary to the information given in the documentation files that come with Future Composer
