what is AHX?

[justinrpg]

I downloaded what is supposed to be a module, but MPT doesn't recognize it. it is in .AHX format... what is an AHX file and how do I get MPT to recognize it and/or convert it to something it can recognize...

AHX is a synthesized module format. It cannot be loaded into sample-based trackers like OpenMPT. In fact, there are only trackers for the Amiga (f.e. HivelyTracker) that support this format, but not for PC. A way to play them on a PC is for example to use XMPlay with the AHX/HVL plugin.

does this also convert to mp3?

You can also render tunes to WAV, MP3 or OGG (the latter two only if an appropriate encoder is installed). I'd rather recommend rendering to WAV and then using lamedrop or oggdrop for rendering to MP3 or OGG.
