Using a real amiga is such a pain (both in transferring and then software compatiblity and so on)

Only if you got a shitty A500 or something like that!
A1200s and A600s are easy to setup.

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.

Has anyone taken on the corrolary of "how do we get more people into tracking?"

if people were made more aware of the 20+-year backcatalogue of mindblowing module tunes on a regular basis i think there would be more interest.  not just that, but being able to sift out the best of the best - being shown the work of tracking legends, demoparty multichannel compo winners and the like.

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?

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!

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.

in case anyone is still wondering, rouwe made a "Great Module Tunes & Tracker History" thread where tracking n00bs can be enlightened on MOD/XM/IT recommendations, and the nuances of the tracker scene.  go there and post your top picks and knowledge:
