As if being a rabid MOD-io-phile weren't enough for you, here's one of the
first Windows-based trackers, so you can compose your own digital-music MODs for your web
page. Trackers, which are the programs used to compose MODS, come in many shapes and
sizes.
ModPlug Tracker is one of the few trackers that doesn't use its own special module format,
preferring instead to allow you to create Impulse Tracker, FastTracker II, and Scream
Tracker modules. ( Impulse Tracker, even though it's DOS-based, is very popluar, easy to
learn, and has many features that'll keep even advanced composers happy. FastTracker has
mouse support and many users think it's pretty easy to learn. Easiest to learn by far is
Scream Tracker, very simple even for beginners but not as full featured as some of the
other trackers. ) So, using MODPlug Tracker, you have some wiggle room. And more
functionality is inevitable as MODPlug Tracker moves from Alpha to Beta.
