MP3 to MOD conversion?

Is there a way to take an MP3 and make it into MOD format, perhaps removing lyrics in the process? I think that the Zephyr Song by the RHCP would be a good J2 Level music without the words...

Can't be done. Mp3 is just "one big sound", while a mod is individual insturment sounds played at designated times.

And if it was possible, the size of the MOD would most likely be too big anyway (MP3's are huge compared to modules) I guess.

I really wish Jazz had an OGG or MP3 player.

I was hoping this would be possible, but i cant find any evidence that it is. Although if it would of been possible I have a few tracks I would of used. The size would be very big as well.

It's extremely possible, it just doesn't work in Jazz2 because, like Cracco said, it would be extremely large. Basically MODs are made up of small .wav files called samples. All the MOD needs to play the song are all of the small waves and the instructions for how to arrange them to create a song. But an mp3 as a wave is just one huge file, which would require an enormous amount of memory to play.

In theory...it would be possible to try and -make- The Zephyr Song in MODTracker with the right sounds and everything. Of course, it probably wouldn't sound nearly the same, but if you've no life then it's always worth a try =P
