# [CoolModFiles.com](https://CoolModFiles.com)
> **Module file** (MOD music, tracker music) is a family of music file formats originating from the **MOD** file format on Amiga systems used in the late 1980s. Those who produce these files (using the software called music trackers) and listen to them form the worldwide MOD scene, a part of the _demoscene_ subculture.
> A **MOD** file contains a set of instruments in the form of samples, a number of patterns indicating how and when the samples are to be played, and a list of what patterns to play in what order.[\*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file)[\*](https://modarchive.org/index.php?article-modules)
CoolModFiles is a web player that will introduce you to the most obscure and legendary tracks hosted on the internet's biggest module archive, [modarchive.org](https://modarchive.org)!
The web player works by simply fetching a random module from [modarchive.org](https://modarchive.org) and playing it. **No black magic involved!**
The idea for CoolModFiles originated among two programmer friends who used to send mod files to each other, which lead to the creation of a personal
mod archive - one which had hundreds of cool modules at the time! Being in possession of those rare works of art (all the way from 80s!) was a privilege...
When the awesome tracks started piling up, however, it naturally brought about a storage problem. The solution was simple: using a web archive!
The programmer friends' idea, unfortunately, was beaten by [modarchive.org](https://modarchive.org) many years ago. Realizing how unnecessary creating another internet archive was, the project evolved into a cool web player instead. A group of 3 came together to create what is known today as [CoolModFiles.com](https://CoolModFiles.com). With it's modern look, it continues to surface thousands of long-forgotten mod files to introduce newer generations to the world of old-school digital music.
