*sigh* let me try to explain Mods and Mp3s graphically.

This is a MOD file.


This is a MP3.


The MOD is broken into lots of little pieces (which can be reused in the file), meaning it takes up less space.


MODs are related to MIDIs. Howver, a MOD can have special customized pieces while a MIDI can only use some built-in ones.


MP3s can have more of a variety of sounds (like voices), but are just one big piece that takes up lots of space.


It is easy to turn a MOD file into one big piece like a MP3.


However, breaking a MP3 into little pieces like a MOD just doesn't work.


The best way is usually to simply rebuild the MP3 song as a MOD, piece by piece.



The end.
