Mod Archive Random Player

grafik

A simple retro music player application using libopenmpt and libuade to play random module files from The Mod Archive, and also supports libgme. This application is built with Python and PySide6 for the GUI, and uses pyaudio for audio playback. It chooses the best player based on the module type.

Uses libopenmpt_py to interface with libopenmpt via Python.

Only works under Linux for now.

Features

  • Play, pause, and stop downloaded module files.
  • Load and play random module files from The Mod Archive, member favourites or by artist.
  • Display module meta data.
  • System tray notifications for the currently playing module.
  • Progress slider to show the current playback position.
  • Tray icon to show/hide the main window, also provides play/pause/stop controls.
  • Allows looking up the current module on The Mod Archive and .mod Sample Master.
  • Preloads the next module while the current one is playing.
  • History of played modules, double-click to play songs again.

How to use

  • Enter Member ID in the settings if you want to load random files from a member's favourites.
  • Enter artist name if you want to load random files from a specific artist.
  • Choose the desired playing mode (random, member favourites, or artist).
  • Hit Play to load and play a random file from The Mod Archive or member favourites.
  • After finishing, the next random file will be loaded and played.
  • Click on the tray icon to show/hide the main window, or press Escape to hide it.
  • The star icon will show if the current module is in your favourites on The Mod Archive.
  • To add the current module to your favourites or remove it, click the star icon. This simply calls the respective request page on The Mod Archive, so you need to be logged in there.
