'''xm4smps''' is a program created by [[Puto]] that converts songs from the XM (eXtended Module) format to the [[SMPS]] (Sample Music Playback System) format hence allowing hackers to easily put custom music in their hacks. It runs under Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X and obsoletes [[nineko]]'s [[xm3smps]]. Following a precise planning, it has been released exactly one year after its predecessor (give or take a few hours), as a sort of unofficial legacy.
 
 
 
Created entirely from scratch, xm4smps has an interface similar to xm3smps. Internally, however, xm4smps is completely different from xm3smps. Some of the key differences to note:
 
 
 
* xm4smps generates songs in ASM format as opposed to raw song binaries, though they are assembled for the convenience of the user.
 
* By reading and converting each pattern of the XM separately, and comparing them individually within each channel, several optimisations can be achieved. For this reason, in about 95% of cases, a song converted by xm4smps will be smaller than the same song converted by xm3smps.
 
* xm4smps is multi-platform.
 
* It supports the E7 coordination flag (aka "smpsNoAttack").
