i found one at www.chiptune.com which has mgb files, which have this magic inside: GameBoy Music Module

mgb is the file format of the Paragon 5 Gameboy Tracker (http://www.nullsleep.com/programs/p5_tracker.zip) from Paragon5 (http://www.paragon5.com/). A WinAmp plugin is here: http://support.xmplay.com/file_comment.php?id=24 Support for the mgb format would require writing a sound player routine for the GameBoy that plays the mgb files. If this is done, gbsplay should be able to play the resulting file (player and music). I think that Paragon5 already has done this so that mgb files can be played on a real GameBoy, but I'm not sure. Without access to their player, everything would have to be reverse engineered.
