I'd love to be able to listen to my collection of chiptunes (.xm format, mostly) on my Mac, but there doesn't seem to exist a decent application for this purpose.

The only one I've found appears to be CocoModX, which is buggy and crashes for an unknown reason, as well as a Terminal script, which is cool and works, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

Can you help me out? :-)

Thanks

I just found another application called XimpleMod, but both (CocoModX and XimpleMOD 3) crash at the start, with the following error:

Code:
0xb8000000 - 0xb81d7fe7  translate ??? (???) /usr/libexec/oah/translate
Seems like they are for Power PC. :-(

Wow, I've just found it, a great Mod/Chiptune Player for Mac OS X. :-D
Thank you, Vincent.

update: VLC is able to play them as well. ;-)

CogX -> http://cogx.org/


Now it would be perfect to have a ModPlayer for the iPod Touch! R0GUE, I need your Coding skills! :-D
