Modland is a very large, and well organised module archive created and maintained by Coma (Daniel Johansson), which contains over 360,000 music modules in 290 different formats. The collection is distributed over FTP from the main site and a few mirrors.

ExoticA Interface

Because of the size, navigating the collection can take some time, and looking for a specific file can at times be difficult. To remedy this, ExoticA provides an interface to the collection which allows searching and browsing by filename, author and format.

You can find the interface at the Special:Modland page.

Because the database is created from a filesystem structure, there are some discrepancies. For example if two different authors have the same directory name in two areas, they will be considered the same author. To avoid confusion, different authors with the same name should be separated through adding country codes to the folder name. If you find two folders which accidentally have the same name, please notify Coma so he can correct it: coma@modland.com

Contacting

Note that currently the interface is in Beta, which means some aspects might not work. Please do report any problems to User:BuZz via his user page or at buzz [at] exotica.org.uk

For questions regarding the collection, please contact Daniel Johansson at coma [at] modland.com.
