hmm I wrapped mikmod and didnt notice any major distortions, I also helped out with maxmod, and one thing is for sure you will never find any players sounding exactly the same.
Yes, I'm aware they all have their quirks, but MikWin is miles off. XMPlay sounds almost identical to Bass and I don't believe it's actually using Bass. MikWin is massively different, raucous and tinny and just horrible. Might be just fine with other mods, but not with either of these.
For instance both winamp and madtracker sound pants, it sounds like they just use simple averageing for mixing not addition, which means a single channel on its own will sound way to quiet...
Well Winamp is about halfway between MikWin and Bass on these. It's pretty bad, but nowhere near as bad as MikWin.
not surprised, version 1.5 only comes with the protracker mod, you'll have to wait for 1.6 for xm support.
(might upload an alpha version soon, as its sounding quite good now)

That would indeed explain it. Bass it is then, I guess.
