[Coladam] Re : music files

[Geoff Oltmans]

Yep... mod files first made their appearance on the Amiga. I believe  
that they are fairly widespread in use for video games today though.  
The original file formats were SoundTracker and NoiseTracker.

There's a bunch of different free players for different operating  
systems out there. Been a while since I played with 'em (mainly from  
the Amiga days).
