Accepted file format
File format choosing rationale:
SND/SNDH
Since it's the most modern format, they allow more effects because the conscious mindset when created was pushing the hardware to its limit. Surpasses ym revision 1 through 6.
STC/PT3/SQT
The defacto standards on the scene (cross compatible on pc/original hardware)
ay/ym
Surpassed BUT legacy. Saving in this for either Atari ST/ZX Spectrum is a downgrade in quality/possibilities.
They are all very playable in different OSes and computer architectures, though.

Players
There are plugins for both xmplay and winamp but they don't seem compliant with Vortex Tracker II exports. Fortunately the Vortex peeps have their own player :
ZX Spectrum Computer Sound Chip Emulator (Windows) Plays back AY-3-8910 on ZX Spectrum and others.
Just Another Musicplayer (YM2149F playback on Windows and atari)
