RIPPING.

=== Current Tracker Information ===

When a file/folder is dropped onto the application, that entry can be clicked on.
If the clicked entry is a valid module, the application will show more information about it.

You can also see what samples it can produce by pressing "View Samples".

From here, the application will launch a new "sample preview" window.
Just like the main window, selecting a sample also shows more information about it.

It is also possible to drag and drop a module onto the previewer.

WARNING: Due to limitations of the MOD format, it is possible for XMODITS to treat almost any file
as valid a MOD file. The samples it can produce will be garbage, and VERY LOUD.


The sample previewer also features a waveform viewer that can be scrolled by dragging with middle mouse button,
as well as being zoomed in/out with the Up/Down arrow keys or the mouse wheel.

This is mostly due to your antivirus scanning the newly ripped samples.
You can create a dedicated folder and configure your AV to ignore that folder, (as well as the executable).
With this, you should also notice a ~2-4x performance improvement.
