I believe milky tracker can output to wav.

you can then recode that wav to mp3 through lame:

sudo pacman -S lame

and then something like:

lame input.wav  output.mp3

by default, this will output to 128 kbit/sec mp3, if you want a higher bitrate you should read through the manpages or guide:

Or you can use xmp with lame.

Yay it worked just like you said it would, thanks very much! I know have unreal superhero 3 as my ringtone, and if you haven't heard that go listen to it NOW!
