Also have a look at drawbridge which even supports live loading Amiga disks in an emulator. https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/

Amiga Forever
You can convert a cheap USB floppy drive into one that reads Amiga disks using a Drawbridge from https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ - I've done this and it works.

I got to rescue A500, 1084S, and 215 disks
This seems to be Rob's official site?

Copying software from modern computers
For the second case I recommend Rob Smith's DrawBridge (previously known as ArduinoFloppyDiskReader): https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ It's a simple arduino-based project, which allows you to use a regular PC floppy drive to write (and read) amiga disk images. You can make your own, or wait your turn for Rob to sell you one pre-assembled. I made my own and it works great.

Amiga500 Mini & Floppy's
Forget the a500 mini, it's not worth your time. You can use this cheap contraption to grab images of all your old floppy disks: https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ and just load them up on an emulator like fs-uae, winuae, or whatever, which you can run on any PC you like. The A500mini is just an ARM computer in an amiga-shaped box running the same emulator, without a keyboard, without giving you all the options the emulator can handle, and you have to pay for it... The point approaches 0 pretty fast.

Loading WAV. samples into OctaMED 4 on Amiga
Alternatively there's also 8bitbubsy's Protracker clone that runs Protracker on a modern computer without needing to route through WinUAE

Amiga Forever
There is also a cross platform modern clone of ProTracker 2 available : https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clone

protracker 2 vs protracker 3
You can also use this: https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clone which is a modern clone of PT2. Works on most OSes.

This is what my bedroom was all about in 1995
https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clone you still can!

Protracker/Chiptune requirement ?
did not see this mentioned: https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clone

Current rig/cave after a year of learning about synths - this hobby is addictive!
few days late, but you can get a feel for the workflow you can just run ProTracker on your computer.
What are some alternatives?
