OpenMPT is an open-source audio module tracker for Windows (with an intended Wine-functionality for UNIX and Linux x86-systems). It was previously called ModPlug Tracker, and was first released by Olivier Lapicque in September 1997.[4]

Computer Music magazine listed OpenMPT among the top five free music trackers in 2007,[5] and it is one of the most widely used trackers.[6]
