This will not help. .WAV is a fileformat used by sound/ music samples.
.MOD contains those .WAV/ whatever filetype AND the music information.
So converting a MOD to WAV (even if it was possible) would not result
in a playable sound file.

I believe, but am not sure, that NoiseTracker 2.0x (GS/OS version) can
load the Noisetracker modfiles, and save them to standard .MOD files.
You would have to try this yourself since I don't spend too much time
on my GS currently. One of the reasons is that I get real sick from the
crap that I find it this newsgroup, but that's not relevant to your
question.

Please let me know if it worked out OK.
