Those are tracked music formats.
Whereas mp3 files are just compressed sound data, tracked music files can be thought of as instructions on how to play a song. A real life analog would be that mp3 is a recording of a song, while tracked music files are like the score. (Score being the musical term used for the written notes)

To be more blunt: you can't convert an mp3 file to a tracked music file. It's just not possible. The only way to get a tracked music file from an mp3 file, is to sit there and write down every single note that you hear, manually create samples for each of the instruments, and then write out the entire song in a tracker.

...these formats have been around for a long time...


As for wav... luaplayer seems to support wav files just fine for sound effects..

Lua supports mono wavs only, as I understand it.

One possible (and possibly crazy!) way of making an mp3 into a mod is to convert the mp3 to wav and then create a mod that plays 1 note which triggers that wav to play (or 2 notes for stereo). It would be huge though.

Lol. I've just decided to use a .wav for my background music with Sound.load even though it is a big sound effect;) it has been working for me!
