There are 4 MOD players: NoiseTracker GS, MODZap, soniqTracker, and shellplay.
The latter 3 do the generally best job, and shellplay has the best sound
quality.  VOC files are playable with AudioZap 2.0, which will be avalible in
demo form when its completed.  Compression you'll need GS-Shrinkit and GSCII+
to unpack all the things you'll find on FTP.

I don't think there is such a thing, at least not yet.
