About the database, supported formats and search help:  

Hover the mouse over UI controls for a description and keyboard shortcut(s).

URL params: 

m=ID - (auto-)plays mod ID at startup (see URL in browser urlbar) (m=-1 plays a random mod)

   pos=song position - optional, starts playing at pos
   e.g.: https://modtu.be/?m=313337&pos=3 (plays mod ID 313337 starting at songpos 3)

   Warning: Unfortunately all modern web browsers have blocked audio autoplay now (ugly workarounds exist)!
   If you paste links in websites or chats tell the users to click on the highlighted mod in the search results.
   Search Google how to enable autoplay in your browser: "enable audio autoplay".

   The IDs change with every DB update! Use IDs only for temporary links, e.g. chats.
   For permanent links use the search term parameter (https://modtu.be/?s=path/modname)
   which can be found under the link "Permanent link to this mod"
   
s=search term - lists mods matching search term on page load
   e.g.: https://modtu.be/?s=1911
