Sometimes they'll be modtracker files (a handful of short samples + playback information)

Ah good point. Hadn't considered mods as a distro mechanism. I still have all the mods I made in the late 80s/90s - rendered them and uploaded to Soundcloud for the world to enjoy / laugh at ... a very resilient format!

Sometimes they are low bitrate mp3s, too, which I guess can work for some songs in the genre which deliberately low bitrate samples.
