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). * I bet Pepperidge Farms remembers.** ** Remember Pepperidge Farms' "Pepperidge Farms remembers" advertising campaign? No. Me neither. *** No, I didn't have this memorized. I do have WinAmp on an old PC though, so I could easily check ;-)
