Open Cubic Player is a music player which can play a wide variety of music formats. Currently it can play so called modules (MOD, XM, S3M, IT), MIDI, MP1-3, SID tunes, and CD audio. It supports many soundcards (SB, GUS, EWS, WSS, PAS, and many more). It features many different display modes for "looking" (text and graphics) at the music.

Changes: The dependency on libid3tag was removed. Keyboard updates were made. An ALSA PulseAudio bug was worked around. The configure script now supports cross-compiling. X11 text driver now supports resizing. Various crash fixes were made.


No changes have been submitted for this release.


Changes: FLAC support. MP3 ID3v2 tag support, Alt-K for key help, and bugfixes.

Since OSS is cross-platform, and we have BSD users. But yes, ALSA support is planed. Patches are always welcome.
Also, when I get the time and effort, I will make C-versions of all the assembler inlines, preparing OCP for running PPC (I have a buddy that reminds me about this every now and then)
Just discovered the new project
Hi.
To get 0.1.9 to compile, I added "-ldl" into the CC= line in Rules.make. For some reason it was failing with a bunch of errors about undefined references to dlsym/dlopen/dlerror, etc.
Apart from that, I've got two comments. It runs perfectly. Very fast, all the graphic modes work (except wurfel, but who cares!).
I only have one issue! It's reliant on OSS! Why use the obsoleted OSS? I have a problem where sound in seemingly random mods plays only from every second channel - I don't know whether it's player or OSS compatability mode related.
My sound card (as will I presume all newer sound cards) use ALSA and is reliant on OSS emulation for this software to work. I would really like not to have to build this stuff into my kernel - half because there's an added layer of possible problems, and half because OSS emulation may not always be an option, then OCP is once again just a haunt!
Finally, yes, very glad to see this taken up.
#ocp is quiet :-)
version 0.1.7
Here you are folks. Dinner is served. Comments are welcome per mail or here. I'd love comments on what can be done better.
Please enjoy this release. Lots of time and testing has gone into this version
DOS legacy
Rare DOS legacy. The best player ever.
Great player
This week I was pleasantly surprised to see a new release of this awesome piece of software. Runs like a charm on my slackware linux machine :)
Even the graphic spectrum analyzer works if you meddle a bit with dga and permissions.
So, I'm back to my module dirs :)
