File Compression
If you wish to use file compression, the supported compression type is ZIP (pkzip/Winzip). You may upload up to 12MB of compressed modules in a single ZIP archive as long as it has no subdirectories, all other non-module files are discarded. You can upload uncompressed modules individually as long as individual the module does not exceed 8 megabytes in size after our compression.

Remember
Uploading
We kindly request that you do not upload automatically converted MIDI music to the MOD archive. If the original format was not a module, we're not interested. The Mod Archive strives to showcase tracker skill, not how good you are with a conversion application.
Please be aware that The Mod Archive has a screening process to ensure a basic quality control.
While we wholeheartedly encourage musicians to create compositions; first time composers are advised to engage the community for feedback via the forums first, rather than torment the screening crew with pieces which will most likely be rejected. :-) Getting involved means as a novice composer you will learn many new things!
