Hello, I am writing here today because I am having some trouble with a project of mine, I'm trying to modify the music in Bejeweled 2 but OpenMPT seems to not have any way to save .mo3 files despite being able to open and edit them, I've tried googling the solution but Google keeps insisting that I'm misspelling mp3, if any one can help me find a way to save my file as or convert the .it file to a .mo3 file I'd appreciate it.

Bejeweled should have no issue loading an IT file instead of an MO3 file, as long as you rename it to the expected filename. If you still want to create a true MO3 file nevertheless, you have to use the official MO3 encoder by un4seen to convert the IT file: https://www.un4seen.com/mo3.html - however given the age of Bejeweled 2, it might not be able to read MO3 files created with the latest version of the MO3 converter, so using a normal IT file might still be the more practical solution.

Thanks for the help, I got the music working by renaming the file from .it to .mo3.

Note that you don't need to do this step in OpenMPT at all - saving an IT file with a different extension in OpenMPT won't change its contents - it's still an Impulse Tracker module. You can just as well change the file extension from .it to .mo3 in Windows Explorer, the effect is the same.
