I'm trying to get Noisetracker to work under WinUAE, but it keeps telling me to insert the volume "ST-00" in any drive. I can't figure out how to create my own .adf from an .lha archive (I know you have to uncompress it, but you apparently need to make some kind of header, and I haven't figured out how to do that,) so is there some kind of software than can do that or some ST-xx .adf disks I can load in WinUAE?

You might be wondering why I'm trying to use Noisetracker when I can just use OpenMPT, it's because I wanted to try making an authentic Amiga song, with all of the weird bugs that probably got fixed in modern trackers.

There is a Protracker clone that works on windows?

Unless Noisetracker has a specific issue with using hard disks instead of floppies, you should be able to just create a hard disk from any folder in WinUAE and slap the ST-00 label on it. This is way more comfortable than working with floppies, too. It's what I do whenever I have to test something in ProTracker.
If it absolutely has to be a floppy image, try ADF Opus.

For some reason it just keeps going in an endless loop of alternating between a black screen and Amiga DOS. Do you need a Kickstarter ROM for it or does the WinUAE replacement Kickstarter ROM work fine? For some reason WinUAE wouldn't accept my Kickstarter 1.3 ROM.    I'm going to try making it into a floppy disk.

That's pretty cool, but I was already aware of it, and it isn't really answering my question

I just tried NoiseTracker (v1.0 to be specific) and it works fine here with a standard A500 config, Kickstart 1.3 (rev 34.5) and a Workbench 1.3 floppy image. Note that you can simply cancel the "insert ST-00..." prompt and the application will still start - given that the rest of the environment is okay.

I'm going to try making it into a floppy disk.

That won't work - if you got the ROM file, you need to use it as a ROM. There are both Kickstart disks and Kickstart ROMs but I would recommend to use the ROM for ease of use.
Just to confirm what you did - you pointed the "System ROMs" path in the WinUAE setup at the directory containing your Kickstart 1.3 ROM and it said that it didn't find any ROMs?

Ok - I worded that part incorrectly, I meant trying to make the ST-00 a floppy.
Huh. Now Kickstart (why the heck did I say Kickstarter) just randomly decided to work. And Noisetracker works just fine now. I don't know what the heck just happened, but I didn't change anything. Maybe WinUAE had/has a fluke.   

...now I have to learn to actually use Noisetracker.

Glad to hear that it's working now
