Understanding MOD and AAC file formats

MOD files are audio module files commonly used in tracker music software. They contain patterns, samples, and sequencing data, and are popular in the demoscene and retro gaming communities. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a modern compressed audio format known for its high quality at lower bitrates, widely used in streaming and portable devices.
