I don't mind users having to download the plugin. That's
how it use to work. It's not a large download.

An no, I can't use another format because these type files
are what I am trying to present.

Tracker files are kinda like midi files, but with the
sampes/instruments included in the file. That's one of
the reasons I think they are so neat. If you have the
song file, you have all the instruments as well, and can
use them in your own compositions.

I guess is just an each to his own kinda thing.

So if I understand correctly, your telling me the hang up
is on the Server computer that hosts the site? The mime
types have to be registered there?

I have a java implementation of a mod music file player,
but its crude and would need to be recoded as it is just a
command line consoul thingy.

If I could just get IE 6 to run the modplug it, it has all
the bells and whistles, and I wouldnt have to go through
the gui development.

Thanks for your replay.
