	You can do this with the latest version of MED, too.  MED can import
ST/NT mods (although the timing tends to drift a little...).  Then, you can
switch to the Samples menu, and step sample-by-sample through the sounds used
in the song, saving each sample as a stand-alone as you go.  These samples can
then be used in your own compositions.  One of the fun side-benefits of doing
all of this is, MED also shows you the original names for each sample.  In at
least one case, the sample names, when strung consecutively together, were a
paragraph of info about the composer of the song.  (Oddly, Intuitracker didn't
list this composer's -- or most other's-- name.)
