Fair enough xD
But those SAME problems would arise even with emulation.
"How do I run the emulator, what is workbench, I got an ADF , what do I do with it" and more.

don't forget the classical, "is there winUAE for mac?"

Personally, I love the AD/DA of the Amiga. If I had none, I might emulate, but I always made the little effort needed to always have an Amiga in my house.

Even a simple "Great MOD/XM tunes" thread would be nice, but if someone is willing to write up a nice op about mods by all means do it. I'll definitely contribute my favorite mods to it!

I think you should start this thread right away. smile

Oh, alright I guess I'll do it! I'll try to add in a little history lesson and some other stuff too.

A good place to start is http://www.mono211.com/modsoulbrother/ but I started a very education AHX Love thread with loads of people posting awesome AHX tunes, would anyone mind something similar for mod/xm?

another thing i think would help is to encourage people to play the music in their intended tracker programs, or at least in players that show the note data during playback.  that was the original draw for me - music that had the note data in plain view so that you can mute stuff, or poke around in the song, to see how the artist achieved a particular result. 

when you listen to an mp3 version of such tunes, the appreciation for those details gets lost.
