About bug reporting

Generally, the bugs will be fixed if you properly reported them and they can be reproduced, if the "bug" you reported hasn't been fixed, that may be because:

• You didn't report them properly. You should report a bug with instructions, pictures or videos explaining how to trigger it, and more detailed instructions are preferred if the triggering process is complex. If a bug is always happening in a specific level, you should upload the level file when reporting.
• What you reported is not a bug. You found some features didn't work ONLY in your level but works fine in other level, why do you think this is a bug?
• You found a feature differ from what you expect, and it has no help to your episode, so you think this is a "bug", why do you think so?
• You reported too many bugs and I forget to fix some of them.

If you insist on reporting bugs in your own way(didn't report them properly), your report will be ignored.

That may be because two reasons: 1) when libModPlug detected corruption of that file, 2) it's not ImpulseTracker file, and contains data which doesn't supported by libModPlug (a library linked with SDL Mixer X to play lot of tracker music formats such as mod, it, xm, s3m, etc.)
EDIT: that file must be MOD, not IT (libModPlug is stupid to correctly identify MOD-file which usually has no magic number while IT has strict magic number). Just got MF myself and hacked that DLL and extracted music. At me it works fine (from PGE MusPlay utility). Try it yourself. Also be sure you have latest SDL Mixer X version (in latest patches has been included)

ktkm25.mod.7z

Okay, I think, I need to take better version of libModPlug library or take alternative (also used libMikMod, but it in some cases working buggy and crashfully - a reason I used libModPlug)
EDIT: I found better way to improve detection of this file format: just readed specification, and that possible to check at 0x438 offset (http://www.fileformat.info/format/mod/corion.htm)

As exit, I suggesting you to open your file in the http://openmpt.org/, and save it into TRUE ImpulseTracker format and then retry it

Here it is: DllAndIt.zip (I uploaded to mediafire because the size is more than 512KB.)
Also I tried rename .it to .mod, and it works fine. Thanks for reply and solution.

PECompact and all similar features are sucks.... because widely used by virus creators which causing false alerts for apps which are safe, but packed (for example, proprietary software which requires a protection from reverse engining)
P.S. I fixed a very small error which caused inability detect that mod file correctly without file extension. The bug appears after attempt to detect mp3 and imf. I fixed that with reseting seek to initial position before feed libModPlug which automatically detects valid tracker music file format. Try please:
