The Extended Module Player, or xmp, is a portable command-line module player for Unix and Unix-like systems such as Linux, BSD, Solaris, HP-UX and MacOS X, and also QNX, BeOS, Windows, OS/2 and AmigaOS. Xmp plays over 80 mainstream and obscure module formats from Amiga, Atari, Acorn, Apple IIgs and PC.
This project is more than 10 years old. It spent some time in unmaintained state but it's now back to an usable condition. Please send feedback to xmp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or directly to cmatsuoka@gmail.com.

Let me know if any of these formats is important for you.
If you like playlists and GUI, there are experimental plugins for the Beep Media Player, Audacious, and Winamp. The plugin was also backported to XMMS (in xmp 2.3.0). No plugin for BMPx (GStreamer) or XMMS2 yet.
These are screenshots of different programs used to create, play or manipulate tracker music. Some of them are quite obscure.
