Q: What would I do if I downloaded the entire ModArchive and don't know what to do with the 100000+ mod files I have?
A: You play them with TUIModPlayer.
TUIModPlayer is a module music (a.k.a. mod) player with a text-based user interface (TUI) written in Rust.
As the name suggests, it uses the tui-rs library to build the UI.
It uses libopenmpt to decode mods. It
can play whatever format libopenmpt supports, including but not limited to
.mod
, .xm
, .s3m
, .it
, .mptm
and so on.
You may need to install libopenmpt using your favourite package managers, for example:
sudo pacman -S libopenmpt
Then clone this repo and build/run.
git clone https://github.com/wks/tuimodplayer.git
cd tuimodplayer
cargo run --release -- /path/to/modarchive_2007_official_snapshot_120000_modules
If you would like to randomise the playlist, add the -s
option.
cargo run --release -- /path/to/modarchive_2007_official_snapshot_120000_modules -s
List available key bindings:
openmpt123 --help-keyboard
Yes. This is intentional. I don't want to surprise those who are used to openmpt123. But there are more:
r
: Toggle repeating. When on, it will repeat the same mod.ctrl+L
: Redraw screen.
