Where to Obtain MOD Files
=========================
You will find a large number of Amiga MOD files on CompuServe. Check out
the AMIGAARTS Forum. There is a library dedicated entirely to MODs and
culled from all over the world. It's interesting to see the range and
diversity of these compositions. They range anywhere from Classical to
Pop to Rock to Ambient to Alternative to Disco (ugh) to Rap to Lawrence
Welkian to the downright bizarre.
MOD is an ever-changing format. I've included documentation for an
expanded format. If you're into programming or even curious, take a look.
Using the Media Player
======================
1. Double click on the Media Player icon in the Accessories Group.
2. Choose &Devices...&UltiMOD Player on the Media Player menu.
A dialog box will appear requesting which MOD file you wish to
play. Choose one.
3. Once the file loads, the Media Player will present the usual PLAY,
STOP, FF, REW, PAUSE, and CUE controls. Use them like a CD player.
Notes for Developers
====================
UltiMOD contains an MCI device driver which plays MOD files. That means
any application which is capable of talking with MCI can also play MOD
files. Visual Basic 3.0 contains a MCI custom control (VBX). All that
you have to do is drop the MCI custom control on a Visual Basic control,
set a few control properties, and--voila--you have an instant MOD player.
It's easy!
