I still have some .mod, . S3m, .xm music files that predate mp3s :)

  Can you explain what those extensions are? There was always .wav but I don't recognize any of those...

    File formats for trackers; music sequencer programs. The files are very small because they just describe the beats/notes. Think MIDI files. They were stupid easy to trade over IRC on dial-up because they were so small.

      Unlike MIDI, tracker files also contain the samples used.
