While MOD files contained digitized samples, they song is created by triggering the samples rather than being a complete digitized song.

Thanks for posting that information!
A lot of times the amateur researcher into "prior art" is hampered by being unfamiliar with an area from 15 years ago and may end up wasting considerable time in exploring it before realizing that they're in a dead end, going through nothing but "close, but no cigar!" material.
I think a page on what directions NOT to go, with an explanation of why it's fruitless to look in that region, would be an asset simply because it would keep the searches focused in the areas that may prove productive.
