Description

Expected Play mods that aren't on Modarchive from URL.

Actual Only seem to be able to play files from Modarchive.

Why

  • Use cases: unfinished track, not added yet to Modarchive, uploaded to another module sharing site, hosted on own site, or only showing some short musical idea that's not meant as a full song.
  • Every now and then looking for a player when sharing modules (that aren't on modarchive) with people who don't necessarily know how to play them. If they do just want it to be more convenient. I know that you could render mod files to mp3 but that's not the same, although it's the next best thing.
  • Maybe this player could additionally be a player for such modules.
