From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried to play the MOD files in my WinAmp 2.81 and I'm not sure if all sounds are as they should be but I heard some songs... Sounded rather synthetic but that's probably as designed? Yeah, they're what I'd generally call Techno music. I'm not sure how much they'd appeal to someone who hadn't played Star Control 2, or who doesn't like Techno in general. Basically, in SC2, every game screen had its own background theme music, and every alien race you encountered (there are many) also had its own theme music, generally very fitting to the race's personality. By the time you've finished the game, those songs are all engrained in your head. I've listened to these mods in a little bit WinAmp, and they sounded a bit flatter to me than with Mod4Win, but not enough to say they sound significantly different, so if you didn't care for them, I wouldn't blame WinAmp. _ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

It's a real shame the .mod format and its siblings (.sc3, .669, .xm, etc) are largely dead (though you can still find we sites with tons of them). Maybe they still live on in the Amiga community. Many can sound synthetic (many deliberately so), but I have a few great .s3m (Screamtracker 3) files which don't. I have a few non-techno ones, also, including a neat piano track. They don't have to sound synthetic, I think that's just the kind of music that was popular with the mod musicians. _ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

There's a whole bunch of waysm depending on the software you have, but probably the easiest, if you have Windows XP, is just to right-click on any photo (or select a bunch), and select the Resize Pictures option. If gives you a dialog with a number of size options, pick the one you want, hit OK, and you're all set.
