I love trackers - as a consumer, not a creator. Similar to what Nostalgia Nerd said about MIDI files, I always find there's something magical about having the computer completely play the music for you "live".

I also love the tie-ins with Amiga. I never owned an Amiga but it's plain to see how game-changing the platform was with its dedicated audio hardware (amongst other things). I often say if we squeezed the juice out of modern hardware the way we did back then... it's hard to imagine what would be possible now!
