About:
LibxmpLite is a stripped-down version of the libxmp module player library, designed for embedded systems and resource-constrained environments. It supports a wide range of historical music formats including MOD, S3M, and XM, providing high-fidelity playback with a minimal memory footprint. This makes it an ideal solution for integrating retro music playback into lightweight applications and games.
Key Features:
  • Supports over 40 classic module formats including MOD, S3M, and XM
  • Extremely low memory footprint and CPU usage
  • Portable C code compatible with various embedded architectures
  • Simple API for easy integration into applications
Use Cases:
  • Integrating music playback into embedded devices or microcontrollers
  • Developing retro game engines that require authentic module music
  • Building lightweight audio players for resource-constrained systems
Alternatives:
  • libopenmpt – More feature-rich and supports more formats, but significantly larger and more complex.
  • SDL_mixer – A higher-level audio mixing library that may use libxmp as a backend, but includes more overhead.
