.MOD files are some kind of "antiquity" in those daysof mega-multi-media
computers, where everything has sound, video and fill your hard drive
with megabytes of that... but going to your question: the MOD format was
born in the Amiga line of computers, it's a kind of midi with embedded
digitized samples and 4 tracks that can play those samples varying pitch
and speed of playback at the same time (yes, 4 channels, 2 more than
stereo and back in the '80s).
The original software for writing mods was "ProTracker", but you can
find a lot of different programs to do that searching google.
i've found a MOD player for the Mac here:

and here i found many MOD players and Trackers, for linux and windows:

I hope that helps
