modplug, eh? Sounds good...thanks for that Andru

On the other hand, in my searching last night I found this topic on stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7...ies-for-delphi

Which mentions our very own BeRo (Benjamin Rosseaux)! He has a bunch of downloads which includes source code for a MOD player and XM player! (MiniMod, and BeRoXM):
http://bero.0ok.de/downloads/

He also as a very small player that seems to be able to play MOD/S3M/IT/XM and some others...

I have sent him a PM about be being able to use some of this source code in my game

cheers,
Paul
