About S3M
Future Crew, the Finnish demo group, released Scream Tracker 3 for DOS in 1994, and its S3M modules filled the PC demo scene and the music of early PC games.
An S3M holds patterns of 64 rows across up to 32 channels, each cell a note, a sample, a volume and an effect, with the order they play in and the samples themselves. It can also play AdLib's FM instruments.
Filepeek plays it in its own build of libopenmpt, the engine of OpenMPT, inside your browser. The pattern playing scrolls under the waveform row by row, Show tags lists the samples and saves them as WAVs, and Export saves the song as MP3 or WAV.

Questions
How do I play an S3M file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek an S3M. It plays right away, its pattern scrolling under the waveform.
Can I get the samples out of a module?
Yes. Choose Show tags, then Save the samples, and every sample comes as a WAV in one ZIP, with its loop.
How long does a module play?
Through every part of its song once, then a 5 second fade, so a song that loops forever still ends.
Can I turn an S3M into an MP3?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as MP3 or WAV, and the song is saved as it plays here.
Does it play other tracker formats?
Yes. MOD, XM, S3M and IT have pages of their own, and older modules like MTM, 669, ULT, STM, PTM, OKT, MED, DBM and MO3 play too.
