Mark Headrick's MOD Page
This page was originally conceived before there was such a thing as MP3 files; however, I still feel it's worthy to keep. So what is a MOD file? Well, basically it's like a MIDI file which contains just note and controller information; however, the MOD file includes the digitized instrument samples within it. More information.

5/28/2004 : Well, I was searching around the net for various Mod4Win versions that would work better with Windows XP than the 2.30 version I had and I found the following site: Mod4Win Home which happened to have an unlimited use version of the Mod4Win 2.40 Beta. Now then, just in case that site goes down, you can also get it here (2435 K). Now, this program is a 16-bit application so it uses the Windows 16-bit Virtual Machine (ntvdm.exe) to run in Windows XP. This version seems to behave fine and hardly uses any CPU. Version 2.30 of the program was using 100% of the CPU (well the ntvdm.exe process was). Even though this program was released in May 1999 and development has stopped, it's still one of the best sounding MOD players I think.. even still seems to do a better job than Winamp at times. |

Unless you've been living under a rock, Winamp Pro is certainly one of the best MP3 players out there and the latest version does a pretty good job now of playing most MOD files. |
