Untitled[edit]

Regarding the statement that "99% of all Amiga music was made in Protracker if you don't count MIDI" (apparently insinuating that those are the two only formats in existence), it's not taking into account that many composers used their own custom formats and formats such as TFMX, MED and others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.19.140.9 (talk) 21:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If README.TXT in the file at https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=13419 is a valid reference, the source code and artwork to ProTracker 1.2 is public domain.

I'm not sure what the deal is with later versions of ProTracker, but at the very least this implies there are at least ProTracker screenshots out there that can be considered public domain. 92.233.189.221 (talk) 09:41, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
