Xmp is a free module player for UNIX distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. The project runs on Linux 2.0 and 2.2 (using ALSA and OSS), S/Linux, Solaris 2.5 and HP-UX 9, and has been also reported to work in OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux/Alpha and Digital UNIX (an experimental driver for IRIX is included but it has not been tested for 16 bit output).

On PC class machines with GUS or AWE cards xmp takes advantage of the OSS sequencer to play modules with virtually no system load. Using software mixing, xmp plays at sampling rates up to 48 kHz in mono or stereo, 8 or 16 bits, signed or unsigned, little or big endian samples with 32 bit linear interpolation. Experimental support for the Enlightened Sound Daemon is included.
