It's shareware, limited to a single convert per run. Players ~~~~~~~~~ MikMod - http://www.stack.nl/~mikmak/mikmod.htm The Mik range of players covers a wide variety of platforms. Amiga ~~~~~~~ Windows 3.1/9x/NT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ModPlug Player - http://www.castlex.com/modplug/ (9x/NT) Mod4Win - http://www.mod4win.com/ (3.1/9x/NT) OctaMEDPlayer - http://www.octamed.co.uk/ (9x/NT) DOS ~~~~~ Cubic Player - http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/4107/ Multi Music Player - http://www.cerise.ml.org/charles/ Mac ~~~~~ Unix/Linux/Sun/NeXT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CD-Rippers ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CD2Wav - http://sunny.aha.ru/~gw/ Audiograbber - http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/ Samples ~~~~~~~~~ Soundwave - http://www.volftp.vol.it/soundwave/samples.html Only go to this site if you are prepared for some LARGE D/Ls. Hyperreal - http://www.hyperreal.com/ Tons of samples, inc. the complete TR-808 and 909 sets. There is another site, the Drum Samples page, which is missing a lot of the 909 Snares, and the 808 Hi-Conga file is corrupt. I recommend Hyperreal. SampleNet - http://www.samplenet.co.uk/ FTP Server - ftp.futurenet.co.uk/samplenet/ The WWW site provides all the links to the files on the FTP site, plus descriptions. However, directly accessing the FTP site, whether through a browser or an FTP program (make sure it allows D/L of multiple files and/or directories), is far faster.
