openmpt123

openmpt123 is a cross-platform command-line or terminal based module file
player.

It can play dozens of tracker formats and convert them to traditional audio
formats.

You can fast forward, rewind, change tempo, pitch, volume and more.

If you experience audio stuttering, try one of the following:

openmpt123 --batch -q file.mod
openmpt123 --period 250 --update 250 --buffer 2000 file.mod
