If you haven't heard of it, there's another cool tracker making great strides right now, Furnace:

Allows you to compose tunes on several chips / platforms in the one song.

Oh.. I am in love. And it can load Future Composer modules! Finally I can play one of my favorite tunes of all time in a tracker without an emulator.

The playback seems a bit off in places, or maybe my memory is, but since the program is still being developed I don't care. So happy right now. Thank you so much.

Is there a standard player for these things? Or is that too dependent on the chips being targeted?

One of the strengths of the old Amiga mods was the number of libraries around for playback which made writing a player or dropping a mod in your game trivial.

Looks pretty awesome - kinda wish it had MIDI output...
