i wanna convert the UPLINK soundtrack but how :(?
and is there also a way to make it mono and then convert to stereo?

Finally a sensible request. Usually I see people asking for mp3s to be converted to MIDI or MOD which is technically impossible (without manually reproducing an entire song, that is).

As I recall MilkyTracker can convert tracker file formats to audio (don't know if directly to mp3 but from WAV you can easily convert to mp3 with tons of free programs obviously). I believe I used this one to convert the Unreal and Unreal Tournament soundtracks to mp3. If it's indeed the tracker I used you can export as audio via the "File" menu.

Apparently this page also allows directly converting to mp3 online.

This is by no means the optimal way, but I usually convert music files with foobar2000 (https://www.foobar2000.org). You will need a component (https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_openmpt54) that provides playback for your desired formats and an encoder (like FLAC for lossless compression) and you're all set. It will take a bit of figuring out, but it's not overly difficult. I'm sure someone has an easier and faster method they can share. Good luck.

Audacity can import mod files and export them to whatever you want.
Although I hardly see the benefit to convert them, mod files are smaller.

Portable players rarely support tracker files, for example.

I wasn't sure if Audacity can handle MOD and the like, but if it does, that's a great way to convert. Great software.

Why not straight up use a Tracker program like Open ModPlug Tracker:
https://openmpt.org/

Has support for them all and you can export to Wav, FLAC, OGG, MP3 ++. Has cross-platform support also. And this has to be one of the biggest cases of necromancies I've seen in a long time.
Thank you for replying to a bot ;)

Zombie thread raised by a bot. Please do not reply.

It probably is possible with a program breaking a song down into sounds then matching them against a midi library.

Ah skit. Caught me slipping. This one's on me, sorry.

Theoretically that would work, yeah, but I'm not aware of programs that can do such things well. Admittedly given recent progress in AI-driven software I wouldn't be that surprised.

Ahh, the Uplink soundtrack. Timelord's Mystique tracks was one of my favorite pieces of music to listen to when most of my listening to music was tracker music in the 90s/early00s. Always worth a necro, even if the necroer was probably a spammer.

(Not that the original post needs an answer, but when I did this a few times in the past, I used Winamp. It had a tracker plugin for playback, and a WAV writer plugin for output. Play it, and you have a raw audio file you can dump into your favorite MP3 encoder.)

Really, you shouldn't need to convert them into the first place?

Any competent media player worth spit (even for the era this thread was dug up from) should play them natively or with a plugin. Like ZXTune or DeadBeef.

Or if you prefer the shotgun approach, there's always VLC.
