In WinUAE I assume you've added a HD. ("Add Directory or Archive", point at a folder on your machine and assign it a volume name, usually DH0:) Then in Protracker on the disk-op menu where it says "Path:" put DH0: and click Load Module to refresh. Alternatively the little dot to the left of "Path:" will cycle through available devices.
edit: Also in Protracker on the Setup screen switch off ".MOD ONLY" option, otherwise you'll have to rename all your files to MOD.<filename> for it to see them.
Added support for .VGM format PSG files. (Master System, Game Gear, BBC Micro etc)
The noise channel currently shares with one of the tone channels but could be moved to a sample channel instead.

the Games folder has some hidden gems.
I've recently been trying to get AY/YM music playing on the SID chip. (for my own amusement) Using data from the old YM format by Leonard/Oxygene, I'm streaming compressed register output in real-time to give a fairly ok sounding simulation of the AY.
Here are some examples of Atari ST music. My pre-processor does frequency and volume conversion, and using the Exomizer compressor most tracks export out to a 4-40kb size depending on complexity. (rather than song length)
Mad Max - "There aren't any sheep in Mongolia"
Tao - "Toxygen"
Scavenger - "DBA Intro 6"
There were, obviously, some caveats to getting them working on the sid:
The SID chip doesn't like jumping around the volume range per frame, I've got somewhat around this by doing a bit of ADSR banging and resetting the gate for a few cycles. AY envelope support is quite minimal at the moment, so some tracks don't quite fade how they would on the hardware.
There is basic 'buzzer' support (using the saw wave) but while it does frequency it doesn't take the envelope shape into account or mix the existing tone signal. So, currently, tracks like the "TCB Bobs Record" screen have quite a flat bass sound.
The AY chip has the ability to mix both tone & noise simultaneouosly on the same channel, to get around this I alternate noise/tone per frame when that's enabled.
SID-wave support is currently on/off based on if the timers are active, rather than calculating frequency and determining the channel from there.
I had some digi drum stuff working but it uses the 6581 volume channel trick, so currently only works on those chips.
Under Win7 I also had to set my keyboard mapping to US in order to get play pattern to work. (AltGr)
yes, please don't use "fakebit".

wow this is ace!
any idea if it the tracker can be downloaded?
It's not released yet.
Learn to code z80 assembly and use a music editor that can export songs easily into programs. (like Carillon Editor) But if they're not to your liking you'd have to write your own driver. (once you get into assembly it's not that difficult)
