Do any of you still listen to MIDIs? I do once in a while: http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/files/music/music.html
That includes MOD, S3M, XM, IT, 669, FAR, etc. ;)

I think it's been over 20 years, I had an HD issue but my mod collection
survived. Didn't get around to copying it off the failing drive as I
hadn't listened to the songs much.

Well, I did replay Crusader: No Remorse recently. That was all Necros
mods as I recall. Lizardking was a favorite too, that much I remember.

Nope, I don't think I've ever had one. I tried converting one before but
it turns out its kinda hard.

It was fairly easy to convert MODs in WinAmp (remember WinAmp?*) You'd
queue up a tracker file (WinAmp had fairly robust support for most
formats), and then go into WinAmp 'plugins' and select the WaveOut
Output.***. The file would stream to a WAV file of the music which you
could then convert to FLAC or MP3 or whatver you wanted.

It's how I got all my favorite MODs into my MP3 collection so I could
listen to them on the go (there are actually tracker players for
mobile devices, but it was just simpler to make them all MP3s than to
juggle different players).

*** No, I didn't have this memorized. I do have WinAmp on an old PC
though, so I could easily check ;-)
