I have finally received word from Apple that my ModBox Module Player is ready for download within the iTunes Store. With this tool you are able to upload and play back all your favourite MOD/S3M/XM/IT modules on your iPod Touch and iPhone. It also comes with a large selection of free instantly downloadable songs from the Modland Library (ftp.modland.com) so things are easy if you don't have your old modules available.

I just stumbled across this astonishing TinySID Flash Player , which allows you to listen to SID music in your web browser. It is based on the TinySID routines and was ported in a very short time to Adobe Flash based Actionscript using the Achemy framework:

Software emulation of the SID chip has been around for a while, and all modern platforms have a way of playback SID files. Winamp plugins, command line utilities for conversion, it's all there. As is there opensource code to do this. There's libraries for most major languages. So, after a bit of research, I decided upon the Linux version of TinySid. This library is small enough and well optimized. It looked simple to port, so I went at it. All in all, 4 hours later, I had this baby up and running!
