	<p>MODArchive is a collection of module/tracker files. It's a community project, and
        categorizes individual audio files. You'll need a MOD-capable audio player.</p>

	<p>Audio files are packaged up in ZIP files on MODArchive. 
	While they are different formats (IT, S3M, XM, etc) they'll all
	carry a generic <var>audio/mod+zip</var> type specifier in
	streamtuner2 for configuration:</p>
	
        <table shade="rows cols" rules="rows cols">
            <tr><td colspan="2"><p>Recording apps</p></td></tr>
            <tr><td><p><var>audio/mod+zip</var></p></td>   <td><p><cmd>cd ~/Music ; wget %srv</cmd></p></td></tr>
        </table>
        
	<p>You can use <cmd>curl</cmd>, or wrap the command with <cmd>xterm</cmd>
	(though files are too quick to download).
	A few file managers might be able to open the URLs directly even.
	See <link xref="recording">recording configuration</link> for more examples.</p>
