In this blog post, we're gonna see some places where I find music. Some of those are paid, some of those are free.
First, let's go over some good players:
- XMPlay - Probably the most accurate MOD player out there
- Foobar2000 - Also a really good player, multi-platform as well
- VLC - Plays everything, though badly for some files
Most of the music I listen to are modules (or MODs), to get those, I have a few places:
- https://modland.com/ - Generalist, has a list of all most software for a variety of platforms, with modules classified
- https://files.scene.org/ - More scene-focused, has a lot of demos as well as modules
- https://amp.dascene.net/ - Amiga-focused directory
- https://deepsid.chordian.net - Large aggregation of collections of Commodore 64 modules, also comes with a good web player
Those can generally be found there for free.
For more traditional music, my go-to solution remains Bandcamp, though sometimes, some artists may allow to buy music directly from their site (which is the case of Lman for instance, but it's more to get physical media).
