Mikmod is a module player and library supporting many formats, including mod, s3m, it, and xm. Originally it was a player for MS-DOS but MikMod has been ported to other platforms, such as Unix, Macintosh, BeOS, and Java.

Mikmod main authors are Jean-Paul Mikkers (MikMak), Jake Stine (Air Richter) and Frank Loemker. Steve McIntyre was the first Unix maintainer, followed by Peter Amstutz and finally Miodrag Vallat.

Unfortunately, since Miodrag Vallat does not have enough free time to work on mikmod theses days, releases somewhat came to an halt. This is why I (Rapha?l Ass?nat) decided to work on libmikmod/mikmod to add new features and bring the project further.

Here are some key features of "libmikmod":
Support for the following modules formats:
669 (Composer 669, Unis 669), AMF (DSMI Advanced Module Format), AMF (ASYLUM Music Format V1.0), APUN (APlayer), DSM (DSIK internal format), FAR (Farandole Composer), GDM (General DigiMusic), IT (Impulse Tracker), IMF (Imago Orpheus), MOD (15 and 31 instruments), MED (OctaMED), MTM (MultiTracker Module editor), OKT (Amiga Oktalyzer), S3M (Scream Tracker 3), STM (Scream Tracker), STX (Scream Tracker Music Interface Kit), ULT (UltraTracker), UNI (MikMod), XM (FastTracker 2)
Can play files in archives formats: zip, lha, lzh, zoo, rar, gz, bz2, tar, tar.gz and tar.bz2
Curses player interface. With optional color and themes.
