| How does Mod-Radio work? |
We have collected 111181 audio files for you, 87939 of which are modules, partly by cooperating with other sites and services, partly by mirroring huge archives, mapping them through our engine.
We started the world's largest mod scanning effort! We scanned all modules for their parameters such as the module format, song title, duration and whatever one can find out about each module.
The results of these scans were joined with databases with further information about most modules, such as the authors(s) who made them, which collection they come from, etc.
This database again is mapped to an online player knowledgebase which contains infos about which online player is capable of playing which module formats and compressions.
The result is fed into a complex playlist generator forming a tree of hourly computed subject sorted radio channels which point into our compressed modules archive.
We then got in touch with the makers of the most important online players to support this new type of radio. The best player currently available is DeliPlayer 2, which can play most mods of this collection. The DeliPlayer team was so kind to support this type of service in DeliPlayer 2, thanks!
WinAmp 2 is supported too, but is currently only capable of playing a part of the collection and channels. Support for other players and platforms is being worked on, stay tuned! |
