# mod2opus(1)

wrapper for tracker module/MIDI to Opus transcoding

## Name

mod2opus — wrapper for tracker module/MIDI to Opus transcoding

## Syntax

**mod2opus** *file*...

## Description

Most if not all mobile players ("MP3 player", "smartphone") still cannot do tracker modules or MIDI, but need a regular premixed file.

This program wrapper converts such files (.mod, .xm, .it, etc.) to Opus using Timidity++ or XMP. (For MIDI, timidity's presence is required.)
