Sit down kids, Uncle Raddy is going to tell you the story of Mp3 and Mod files.

Anyway, the two filetypes work different ways. A Mod file is a collection of short sounds (like instruments) which are arranged in a song (essentially, the computer reads "sheet music" and plays the song). An Mp3 file is essentially one big, long sound clip. While one can easily convert a Mod to an Mp3, a backwards conversion is not as easy. There is no way (with the exception of maybe some mediocre software and a lot of work) for the Mp3 file to be rebroken into its original instrument components. You can still turn it into a Mod with programs like Modplug Tracker, but it will retain its Mp3 size. Very large music files might not play in JJ2.
