24 alternatives to Pixeltune, a nicer chiptune and VGM player
10 years ago I began working on Muki, a web-based MIDI and chiptune player which I eventually announced here on HN[0]. It was a fun weekend project. Over the years I received numerous requests from people that wanted more: more music, more features, more playable formats, you name it. Eventually I began working on a complete rewrite of the app (this time for real), and, realizing that each year another chiptune or MIDI website went offline, I decided to start archiving them for preservation. Today, 10 years after the first release, I think it's finally time for the new, nicer version to hit…
Pixeltune is a web-based player for chiptune and MIDI music files. It's designed for fans of video game music and retro audio formats who want a dedicated listening experience. The application also serves as an archive… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Pixeltune, a nicer chiptune and VGM player launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Haxophone▲526I built this during Covid. When I released it, some of the parts went out of stock or skyrocketed in price, no longer making this an economic DIY project. Now that things are getting back to almost normal, I thought I'd share it here and request feedback. This is a very niche project for people who like the same things I do: saxophones, Rust, mechanical keyboards and the Raspberry Pi.

Hey all, creator of Video.js and co-founder of Mux & Zencoder here. My team and I built this. I hope you like the themes we’ve built so far, and maybe even get inspired to build your own. I know Web Components are in a bit of a drama cycle right now. I’m happy to see them get any attention really. I’ve been pretty bullish on them since ~2013 when I started working with them, at least in the context of a widget like a video player. I’ve even given many related talks on them like this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Mh84SRoDg). I would never push them for a large app or…

I'm building a video conferencing app designed to facilitate better remote piano lessons. My hope is to solve a lot of the challenges piano tutors and new students deal with when taking lessons through Skype/Zoom. It leverages WebRTC's data transmission to send media, MIDI state, and (eventually) send sheet music files and other musical data. I'm surprised with how well the MVP has worked and would love to hear any feedback or suggestions!

Muky▲200Hi, I've developed an iOS app called Muky (https://muky.app/) that allows parents to create and manage music playlists for their children. It provides a focused, distraction-free audio experience for kids. I created this app because my 4-year-old daughter loves music, but existing solutions like Tonies or cassettes didn't meet our needs. Using an iPhone or iPad directly with Apple Music wasn't ideal either. Muky aims to solve these issues under the motto "Music for the Kids". Here some key features: * Dedicated music player for children * Parent-controlled playlists *…
