Winamp
Winamp is a plugin-based media player for Windows, Android, and Macintosh. It has a large library of 3rd party plugins, including enough to play almost all of the formats used by videogames. It was originally announced that AOL would officially stop supporting the Nullsoft brand after December 20, 2013, but it was announced shortly thereafter that AOL had sold the rights to Radionomy.

Supports FLAC at all compression levels.
Nullsoft MIDI Player
Supports CMF, HMI, HMP, MIDI, MUS, and XMI. Playback of General MIDI works perfectly, but custom MIDI instrument banks are not supported. The CMF playback does not properly support the AdLib samples.
