Glad you like it (btw, i did a metal remix of E1M1 :P). But you'd still have to get permission from the creators before using anything from the site...
I don't know how much you know about Mods, but i'll try to explain briefly. In mods, you put samples (sounds of instruments) inside, then tell the player to play this and that sample at this and that frequency, and it ends up being a song (easy to learn, hard to master). One of the advantages of these modules is that on every computer, it sounds the same unlike midi that depends on each computer's soundcard. Also, you're not limited to using the midi sounds, for example, i once made a song using only the sounds from windows.
.MO3 = It's a compressed module meaning the samples within the file ahve been compressed (typically using mp3 or ogg)
.OGG = Just like an mp3 file, only better sound quality at the same file size (more or less)
XM/XI = A normal module file. There are multiple other formats like .IT, .S3M etc. They're all somewhat alike but vary in features depending on which program they were made in.
All these formats can be played using XMplay, from www.un4seen.com .
