About:
Ocp is a feature-rich UNIX port of the Open Cubic Player, designed for playing a wide variety of classic audio formats. It provides a text-based user interface that runs in the terminal, offering detailed module information, visualizations, and advanced playback controls. Its main value is bringing authentic, high-quality retro music playback to modern command-line environments.
Key Features:
  • Supports numerous legacy audio formats (MOD, S3M, XM, IT, etc.)
  • Text-based user interface (TUI) for terminal usage
  • Advanced features like sample mixing, surround sound, and resampling
  • Includes a file manager and playlist editor
Use Cases:
  • Listening to retro game and demo scene music directly in the terminal
  • Analyzing and exploring the structure of classic module files
  • Running a lightweight music player on servers or headless systems
Alternatives:

  • vlc – VLC is a full-featured GUI media player, while Ocp is a lightweight, terminal-native player optimized for a specific niche of audio formats.
