Is there a way to convert wav files to mod for the text adventure I am programming?

@linuxlalala

Its an impossibility to convert as a mod is samples which are embedded into the file and are told to trigger on a given channel, ant a given pitch at a given time. You would have to take samples (from the original tune or general instruments etc) and put the mod together. The reason for mods being so small is they reuse the samples for each note.

.wav (or any other audio format) => mod : no

.midi => mod : yes (with some limitations), I just dont know any program who does it. manual adjustments will be required (selecting proper samples etc.)

MOD music is note based, where 4 individual tracks, (2 track on right, and 2 on left audio output) the instruments are recorded audio samples, so what you need to do to convert your music in to notes and instruments, how your going to do that I don't know.

The longer the samples are the larger the module becomes.

Some did it for Prodigy - firestarter

I bet it was a lot of work.

Other solution you can convert the wav files to 8svx, I did it for my games.

@ChaosLord

Maybe he copied his music from his cd, to make a backup, who knows, and way care?

No one is using CD's any more it USB player, or a USB pen drive plugged into computer or a car radio. Or people are using spotify.

MIDI is a very compact music format, if you have a decent tool for playback.
Like MODS, you'll need an instrument set for the conversion.

One tool that can play back MIDI files is tiMIDIty. It's also possible to use
CAMDPlay and SoftSyn, though SoftSyn is still in beta.
(the most recent version of SoftSyn has an instrument file included)

Users with external MIDI hardware can opt to stream the music out to
their own devices.

Of course all this is only useful if you have MIDI files for your music.
