XRNS is a free file format for tracker modules based on XML , ZIP and FLAC .
The format was introduced with Renoise in version 1.8 on September 18, 2006. Since XML is a human-readable format, musicians can also adapt XRNS files by directly editing the source text. Since, as is usual with tracker modules, samples should be integrated directly into the pieces of music, the developers decided to use ZIP files as containers for XML source text and audio samples.
In order to save the pieces of music in a space-saving way, lossy compression formats such as Ogg Vorbis can also be used.
Various tools now exist to edit XRNS or to convert it into other formats.
While Renoise itself is published as shareware , the XRNS format is under the GPL .
