    Does anybody have a utility that will let me extract a file_id.diz
    from MOD/S3M/XM/IT/etc mod files?

    I didn't know that file_id.diz could be stored in MOD/S3M/XM files. I knew that some formats could store plain text messages (outside of sample and instrument [XM/IT] names).

    You can't store it back within the mod file, I planned on making a file_id.diz and packing it with the file so the BBS could use the song title as the description.

    I found one program that appears to not be in English (mp3desc). Upon looking into it last night, the file specifications for tracker files aren't complex, so I'll write a utility myself.

    I've done something similar using mp3info:
