- Tricky: what sort of music do you want to play? FM or digital?
-
- If you want to play MODs, MikMod is a good choice.
-
- It is a music and sound library that supports soundblaster and GUS.
- It can play (nearly) any kind of MOD file, source code is supplied and it
- is FREE if you are using it non-commercially.
-
- I believe it is it ftp.cdrom.com /pub/demos/sound or something like that.
