Usually, is game music an audio stream, or is it like MIDI?

Any tutorials?

Usually tracker formats are the most common (mod/s3m/xm/it). Full streamed music soaks too much cart space, and MIDI is overcomplicated, and gives you less control over instruments and stuff.

I wrote a MOD player tutorial a while back, check it out at http://deku.gbadev.org/program/sound1.html.
