So how were these distributed and how old are they?

Well I got my first around 1994, and they travelled around on harddisks and 3.5".

I think they started turning up in early 90's

Anyone remember another form of digital format for music? This was back in the mid to late 80's and was really crappy. You could barely make out the song. But it was cool, a song on a floppy.

I guess it could be the same I searched around and it turns out mods started at the amiga, so it most be older than I thought. I never had an amiga though.

Thousands of MODs out there ready for DL

Most modern sound cards will have midis sounding pretty decent.

And geez, I have never even heard of these sort of files. I started in digital music a few months before Napster's controversy started...

Whoa! Winamp reports 80,000 kbps . Ahahah, and this all sounds sweet!
