There is a library for playing tracker modules in Android here:-

If someone fancies wrapping it for Monkey I think it could help a lot of people especially with keeping file sizes down for mobile gaming which can be a real challenge when thinking of adding music.

If I had the knowledge to do it I would but unfortunately I don't have a clue so I'm just putting the link here and hoping someone fancies giving it a go and seeing how easy it is to get up and running in Monkey.

The person who made AndModPlug very kindly took a look at the Monkey problem but he says it probably needs someone more familiar with the language and its ins and outs.

It would be a fantastic boon to the language to have tracker/module support I think - inbuilt would be idea but a wrapper for this stuff would work too.

I used to love the fact that mods could be loaded and played in Blitz and Blitz3D.

Anyway the AndModPlug creator has put together some great notes if anyone wants to give this a go - maybe this shouldn't be in the android forum but in a more general place if it's ported/wrapped hopefully it can be made to work for more than just one platform.

Take a look at the notes and information (and source) here:-
