Michael,
.mod-files are Amiga-special music-files. You can play them with many players
that you can find in Audio/Midi-Utils library of AmigaArts. If you want to edit
some
mods, you will need a program like Sound- or Noisetracker, but the best
mod-editing program for me is OctaMed. But – the most important thing :
you need an Amiga, cause in my opinion there are no converters or players for
other platforms.
Some special charakteristics:
-only for channels (2 left, 2 right)
-maximum sample rate for samples used in mods is about 22 kHz
-only 8 bit sounds
-if you want to download a mod, look at the size, many mods are made of using
whole parts of music in one sample (mostly this songs are very stupid cause
you can hear 1 sample looped for 100 times)
